Hydraulic control designed to stop the rear wheels from locking up (rear wheels become "light" under heavy braking and therefore more likely to skid).

Domain: Automotive; Category: Braking systems

Tendency of a vehicle to pull to one side under braking.

Domain: Automotive; Category: Braking systems

Uneven or stutter-like force transmitted through the brake pedal during braking, usually caused by problems with disc rotors or linings.

Domain: Automotive; Category: Braking systems

Chamber connected to the master cylinder (usually by hoses) and used for storing hydraulic fluid.

Domain: Automotive; Category: Braking systems

The basis of a disc brake system: a round metal disc which rotates with the road wheel and, in order to generate braking power, is clamped by a calliper holding two friction linings (pads).

Domain: Automotive; Category: Braking systems

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.

Domain: Automotive; Category: Braking systems

Property of a drum brake, whereby the braking force is increased by the braking action of the shoes against the drum.
