How do ABS brakes work during an emergency situation?How do standard conventional brakes work during an emergency?What are the advantages of ABS brakes?As many links as possible would be much appreciated!
Antilock does not lock up the wheels. A car will slow faster if the tires are still rotating as it slows down(and you maintain more control) as the rubber still grips the road whereas if you jam on the brakes on a conventional brake system the tires will lock and then skid. Skid is the same as sliding - you have no steering control as you slide.the gripping action of the rubber on the road is lost once it starts to slide. This works the same on ice or slick snow pack roads A rotating tire will grip ice better than a skidding tire. Try it and prove it to yourself.
For the best answers, search on this site shorturl.im/awq0E I clearly fall within the faction that believes that EVERY passenger vehicle should be fitted with ABS. The situations where anti lock brakes MAY be detrimental would be so rare as to make it safe to disregard those situations. Otherwise it would be like stating that seat belts should not be worn because of the rare chance that, someday, the vehicle may fall, upside down in water and the unconscious driver would drown because he is wearing a seatbelt. It's a remote possibility, but there are countless other, very real risks, run every day, several times a day where wearing the restraint could save one's life. I expect that ABS will be required in EVERY passenger vehicle, someday, and I would support and applaud such regulation.
You have air in the lines. If you don't know this you should not work on your brakes. Not being an azz just telling the truth. Pick what air freshener or seat covers you like. If you make a mistake no one will die.
It sound like u have air in the system . Check the brake lines for damage or leaks- if ok bleed your brakes. That should take care of the problem
It could be air in the lines or your master cylinder could still be bad,it uses rubber seals in it's construction and could possibly not pumping fluid thru the lines.As far as bleeding the brakes I made a bleeder pot,consisting of a large clear container with a lid (with small hole in it)and a long piece of rubber line.Fill the container 3/4 full if brake fluid,push the rubber line down into the container(near bottom) then loosen the bleeder screw on the brake caliper or wheel cylinder push the other end of the rubber line down on it,and gently pump the brakes three or four times and release.Then tighten the bleeder screw.Do this to all four wheels.The bleeder pot allows you to bleed the brakes by yourself.
