What Causes One Wheel to Have No Brakes?
1 Answers
There are several reasons why one wheel may have no brakes, such as issues with the brake pump, brake pads and discs, brake fluid, or brake lines, all of which can cause one side to lose braking. Here are some braking techniques: 1. Emergency braking: Some vehicles lack ABS, so it's not advisable to fully press the brake pedal at once. Instead, press it twice in succession to prevent wheel lock-up, which can cause skidding or loss of steering control. 2. Braking in rainy conditions: When driving on wet roads, avoid slamming the brake pedal or turning the steering wheel abruptly. After passing through water, gently press the brake pedal twice to use inertia and friction to remove water from the brake discs, preventing brake failure during sudden stops. 3. Braking while following another vehicle: When following another car, brake gently to maintain a safe distance. Besides monitoring the leading car's braking, also pay attention to the vehicle ahead of it. If the leading car brakes, place your foot on the brake pedal in advance to prepare for sudden stops.
