Car shaking when braking is caused by uneven wear of the brake discs. The solution is to replace the brake discs or have them resurfaced. Methods for maintaining brake discs include: 1. Developing good driving habits; 2. Avoiding sudden braking; 3. Regularly inspecting brake pads and discs; 4. Checking the thickness of friction pads; 5. Having a professional inspect the brake shoes; 6. Using original equipment manufacturer (OEM) brake pads and discs for replacement. The function of brakes is to reduce speed or bring the vehicle to a stop. The working principle involves converting the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into heat energy through friction between the brake pads and drums, as well as between the tires and the ground, thereby slowing down or stopping the car.
