What Causes Rear Wheel Lock-Up?
1 Answers
Car rear wheel lock-up may occur when the owner applies the handbrake during car washing, allowing water to enter the rear wheels, causing the brake pads and brake drums to lock up. Introduction to Wheel Lock-Up: Wheel lock-up refers to a phenomenon where the brake (including disc and drum types) clamps the tire tightly, resulting in no relative movement between the tire and the brake, causing the tire to slide against the ground. Dangers of Wheel Lock-Up: If the front wheels lock up, the vehicle loses steering capability, making it unable to turn, avoid obstacles, or pedestrians. If the rear wheels lock up, the vehicle loses stability, leading to skidding.
