Will Air Leakage in the Brake Booster Affect Braking Performance?

[AlexaLynn]

Air leakage in the brake booster will affect braking performance. Below are relevant details about the braking system: Principle: The principle of the braking system is to generate significant friction, converting the vehicle's kinetic energy into thermal energy. As is well known, energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be transformed from one form to another or transferred from one object to another, with the total amount of energy remaining constant during the process. Precautions: Driving with the handbrake engaged directly accelerates the wear of the brake disc and causes the brake pads to harden due to overheating, as well as stretching the handbrake cable. This leads to a decline in braking performance, and sometimes the burnt smell noticed by the driver originates from this. In severe cases, smoke may appear from the rear of the vehicle.
