What Causes the Brake of a Rear Eight-Wheeler Not to Return to Position?
1 Answers
The reasons why the brake of a rear eight-wheeler does not return to position are as follows: Brake Caliper Seizure: The brake caliper piston seizes, causing braking resistance. The brake caliper remains stationary; during braking, it clamps the brake disc to complete the braking action. If the brake caliper seizes, not only will the brake pedal fail to return to position, but the vehicle will also be unable to move forward. In this case, the brake caliper needs to be replaced. Incorrect Installation of Rear Wheel Bearings: Rear axle bearings are improperly fixed or installed/rear wheel bearings are worn, dry, or damaged. As everyone knows, a car has four wheels, each connected to the body via bearings. If the bearings are misaligned, the entire vehicle body will become uncoordinated, and the brake pads may end up in an incorrect position, leading to the pedal not returning to position. Contamination of Front and Rear Brake Pads: Front and rear brake pads are contaminated by lubricating oil or brake fluid/brake pads are worn or damaged/brake pads are polished or deformed due to overheating. Brake pads are the core component of the entire braking system and one of the parts most susceptible to contamination by lubricating oil or brake fluid. If the issue is found to be with the brake pads—whether due to contamination, wear, or overheating deformation—they must be replaced directly.
