What happens when the wheel cylinder fails?
1 Answers
The following situations may occur when the wheel cylinder fails: Abnormal noise during braking: When applying the brakes while driving, the braking system may emit a sharp and harsh metal friction sound. This could be caused by thin brake pads, poor-quality brake pads, foreign objects in the brake pads, or rust on the brake discs. In most cases, pressing the brakes a few more times can alleviate the noise. Brake shudder: During emergency braking, you may feel the brake pedal "kicking back" with a sensation like "thump, thump, thump." This is normal and indicates that the ABS is functioning. Soft brakes: When braking while driving, the deceleration is weak, and the braking distance is long. The causes of poor braking performance in a hydraulic braking system can generally be judged based on the brake pedal travel, the feel of the pedal (soft or hard), and the stability after pressing the brake pedal.
