The brake system is what a vehicle uses to stop when pressing the brake pedal. There are three main parts to your vehicle’s braking system. The Master Cylinder, Brake Calipers/Cylinders, and the Brake Surfaces. When pressing on the brake pedal it causes the Master Cylinder to push 900-1500PSI through the Brake Lines which go to the Brake Calipers/Cylinders. Then depending on the system use that pressure to push the Brake material to the rotor or drums which is connected to the wheel, causing the whole vehicle to come to a stop.
Faulty Brake System components are the most dangerous systems to leave unattended. Without the Vehicle Brake System working properly a vehicle will be unable to stop or slow to a stop. Both of which can cause injury and accident. Many times a Vehicle Brake System will work on light use but when attempting an emergency stop. The Brake Fluid pushes at full pressure through the system, causing any weak points to fail.
