What Causes Hard Brakes That Are Difficult to Press?
1 Answers
The reason for hard brakes that are difficult to press: Brake stiffness is usually related to insufficient or loss of brake vacuum assistance. It is recommended to check the brake booster pump, pipelines, and master cylinder for leaks or malfunctions at a repair shop and repair them as needed. Here is some additional information: Vacuum Booster Pump: It only generates vacuum when the engine is running, providing assistance. When the engine is off, it no longer produces assistance, but a small amount of vacuum remains, which completely disappears after pressing the brake when the engine is turned off. Brake: A mechanical braking device that slows down the vehicle, also known as a decelerator. Simply put: The car brake pedal is located below the steering wheel. Pressing the brake pedal causes the brake linkage to be pressurized and transmitted to the brake shoes on the brake drum, clamping the brake disc to slow down or stop the car.
