Disc Brakes
Disc brakes are composed of a Disc Brake Rotor connected to the wheel and a Caliper holding the Disc Brake Pads. When hydraulic pressure from the Master Cylinder is applied, the Caliper Piston squeezes the Disc Brake Rotor between the Disc Brake Pads, generating friction that slows down or stops your car.
Drum Brakes
Drum brakes are composed of a Brake Drum connected to the wheel, a Wheel Cylinder, Brake Shoes, and Brake Return Springs. When hydraulic pressure from the Master Cylinder is applied, the Wheel Cylinder pushes the Brake Shoes against the Brake Drum, generating friction that slows down or stops your car.
Parking Brake
The Parking Brake employs cables to mechanically engage the brakes, typically the rear ones. It's utilized to prevent the car from rolling when it's not in motion.
