GIVE your Car a Brake!

Discs. Drums. Power assist. ABS. Why does
life have to be so complicated? Well, it’s not so
bad. It all depends on friction — the friction
between the brake pad and the lining in a drum
or the rotor of a disc brake, and the friction
between the tires and the road.

When you press down on the brake pedal,
that creates pressure in the master cylinder. This
is passed through the brake lines to the brakes.
Ifyou have power or power assisted brakes, you

don’t have to press as hard on the pedal to get
the same braking effect. In a drum brake, the
brake shoes inside the drum press outward
against the brake lining to create the stopping
force. [t's a unit char’s relatively inexpensive to
maintain,

Disc brakes are like bicycle brakes — the
calipers pinch the disc, or rotor, to create the
stopping force. Because of their better heat rejec-
tion, disc brakes offer up to three times more
stopping power than drums. That's why most
cars have dises on the front, where most of the
stopping work is done, and drums on the rear.

Because of the heat generated in braking,
