Brake Systems Bremen IN
How exactly does the braking system work in my car? The braking system is comprised of your brake pedal, hoses, brake fluid, the caliper, brake pads, and the rotors of your car. When you press on the brakes, it pushes that brake fluid down the hoses and creates pressure. That pressure squeezes the caliper, which holds the brake pads closed, applying pressure from the brake pads to the rotors. This friction is what slows the rotors down, slowing the car down. And that’s how brakes work in a car, and any one of those parts just mentioned can, and will, wear over time. So it is best to get a brake service done regularly.
