What Causes Severe Jerking After Slow Braking?
1 Answers
Severe jerking after slow braking may be caused by a damaged solenoid valve. Below are relevant explanations about severe jerking after slow braking: 1. Other possible causes: (1) Lack of necessary maintenance on the braking system, excessive impurities in the brake master cylinder, poor sealing, failure of the vacuum booster pump, contaminated brake fluid or mixing different types of brake fluid causing vapor lock when heated, leakage in the brake master cylinder or wheel cylinder, or air leakage in the air reservoir or pipeline connections. (2) Mechanical failure due to improper operation. (3) Severe overloading increases the vehicle's inertia under gravity acceleration, directly leading to brake failure. 2. Solutions: (1) Control the direction according to road conditions and speed, disengage the high gear, and quickly rev the engine once before shifting from high gear to low gear. This creates significant engine braking resistance to rapidly reduce speed. Additionally, while shifting to low gear, use the handbrake in combination, but be careful not to pull it too tightly or too slowly. Pulling too tightly may cause the brake disc to "lock up," potentially damaging transmission components and losing braking ability; pulling too slowly may cause excessive wear or overheating of the brake disc, reducing braking effectiveness. (2) Use rigid parts of the vehicle (such as bumpers or body) to rub or collide with natural roadside obstacles (rocks, large trees, or slopes) to force the vehicle to stop and minimize accident damage.
