Let’s Stop
Provides a means of using friction to either slow, stop or hold the wheels of a vehicle.
What is automotive brakes.
A foot lever for operating the master cylinder and power booster
What is the brake pedal assembly
A system that uses a liquid to transmit motion or pressure from one point to another.
What is a hydraulic system.
A power brake uses power steering pump pressure to help the driver apply the brake pedal
What is the hydraulic booster
This provides a means of removing air from the brake system.
What is the bleeder screw
WHen a car is moving down the highway, it has a tremendous amount of stored energy.
What is inertia
A hydraulic-piston pump that develops pressure for the hydraulic brake system
What is the master cylinder
The comparison of front wheel braking effort to rear wheel braking effort.

What are components of the brake caliper.
The metering valve, the proportioning valve, and the combination valve.
What are control valves to regulate the pressure going to each wheel cylinder.
