when your axle breaks does your car stop or do something to the battery?

Answer:

There are two significant differences. The brake MC has a pushrod from the booster that must be adjusted to the proper length. 95% of the time you can leave it alone but occasionally it will be too tight and make the brakes drag, or even lock up, and it can be tough to pin down. The second issue is ABS, which can make the MC and the whole system much trickier. It is possible to do serious damage to an ABS system by bleeding it the wrong way. A less serious yet common problem, frustrating if you run afoul of it, is the brake fail warning light. If that is still on at what you thought was the end of the work you will have to research all the things that can cause it. Common problems range from as simple as brake fluid level being too high or too low (sometimes less than a tablespoon too much fluid will turn it on) to a jammed imbalance switch. It can go smoothly or take you for a long explore through thorn bushes.
Yes, but the clutch master cylinder, on vehicles that have one, is simpler.
No,it does not do anything to the battery. The car stops due to the wheels no longer going around.
Depending on which axle you broke, yes the car does stop. No, it has nothing to do with the battery
Front drive cv axles usually give good warning before they actually break. Lots of clicking or vibration. If you broke your axle in half, that cars not going anywhere but with a tow truck. Battery is unrelated for the most part. Unless the axle sheared a battery cable when it broke. Good Luck
