Type of disc brake rotor which has a series of slots or grooves across its friction surfaces. These are designed to improve the bite of the pads and break down the build-up of gas and dirt which can ...
Hydraulic control designed to stop the rear wheels from locking up (rear wheels become "light" under heavy braking and therefore more likely to skid).
Property of a drum brake, whereby the braking force is increased by the braking action of the shoes against the drum.
Rotors which are warped or out-of-true have excess "run-out", meaning the surface varies or wobbles as it rotates around a fixed point.
Chamber connected to the master cylinder (usually by hoses) and used for storing hydraulic fluid.
Brakes which use power-assistance (usually from engine vacuum) to magnify the pedal force, thereby reducing driver effort and increasing braking power.
Friction material which uses no asbestos, thereby being easier on public health (breathing asbestos dust can cause the disease asbestoses). Sometimes non-asbestos linings can be more abrasive, ...
