2 **hydraulic braking system components:**
* **Description:** This delves into the components of a standard hydraulic braking system. Students will learn about the master cylinder, brake lines, calipers, wheel cylinders, brake pads, and brake shoes. They'll understand how these parts work together to transmit force from the brake pedal to the wheels.
3 **types of brakes: disc vs
* **Description:** This section provides a comparison of the two main types of brakes: disc and drum. Students will learn about the advantages and disadvantages of each type, their construction, and where they are commonly used in vehicles.
4 **anti-lock braking system (abs): safety first:**
* **Description:** An explanation of Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and its key components. Students will understand how ABS prevents wheel lockup during hard braking, allowing the driver to maintain steering control. The importance and benfits of having it in modern cars will be discussed.
5 **brake maintenance and troubleshooting:**
* **Description:** This section covers basic brake maintenance tasks, such as checking brake fluid levels, inspecting brake pads and rotors, and recognizing common brake problems (e.g., squealing brakes, soft brake pedal). Students will learn some basic troubleshooting techniques and the importance of regular brake inspections.
