The reason for the front wheel brakes of Wuling Zhiguang getting hot is that the brake caliper is malfunctioning and not retracting properly, causing the brakes to drag while driving. Below is relevant information about the brake caliper: 1. Overview: The brake caliper is an essential chassis braking component in the braking system. Its main function is to push the brake pads against the brake drum, creating friction to reduce speed or bring the vehicle to a stop. When the brake pedal is pressed, the master cylinder generates thrust to push hydraulic fluid to the caliper, and the piston inside the caliper moves under hydraulic pressure to push the brake pads. 2. Working principle: When the brake pedal is pressed, the outlet valve opens while the inlet valve closes. Under the pressure from the piston in the cylinder, brake fluid is forced through the brake lines to each brake caliper to perform the braking function. When the brake pedal is released, the outlet valve in the master cylinder closes and the inlet valve opens, allowing brake fluid to flow back from each brake caliper to the master cylinder, returning to the original state.
