What are the symptoms of brake pads not retracting?
1 Answers
The symptom of brake pads not retracting is a noticeable increase in vehicle resistance. Here are the specific details: 1. Function of the brake wheel cylinder: The brake wheel cylinder is an essential component of the braking system. Its primary function is to push the brake pads against the brake drum, causing friction that reduces speed or brings the vehicle to a stop. 2. Reasons for the brake wheel cylinder not retracting: Even without pressing the brake pedal, there is a significant feeling of increased resistance in the vehicle. In severe cases, there may be noise or even wheel lock-up. The main causes of this phenomenon are usually prolonged failure to replace the brake fluid, leading to internal rust in the brake wheel cylinder, or poor precision of the caliper, causing the piston not to retract properly. It could also be due to blockage in the brake wheel cylinder pipeline, requiring inspection and repair.
