Car brake parts
Car brake parts are components of the brake system.
A brake system transmits force from a driver’s foot to the car’s brakes. The brakes then transmit the force to the tires and road, where the friction slows and stops the vehicle. Hydraulic and power brake systems use the principles of hydraulics and hydraulic fluids.
Engaging the brake pedal or lever in a mechanical braking system pulls a cable connected to the brake shoe assembly and initiates contact with the brake drum or disc.
The main parts of automobile braking systems include the pedal, drum and disc brakes, a brake booster and push rod, the master cylinder, valves and lines, and the emergency and anti-lock brakes.
