What is the brake hydraulic system?
The hydraulic brake system is a series of parts within your vehicle that all work together so that when you push the brake pedal, the car's brakes engage simultaneously on each of the four wheels.
In more detail, brake fluid is pulled from a master brake cylinder through specially designed brake lines to control slave cylinders (or wheel cylinders) located at each brake housing. The brake fluid is also pushed from the slave cylinders to each of the brake callipers. These have internal pistons that push the brake pads against the disc brakes or brake shoes against the drum brakes.
What are the Main Components of a Hydraulic Braking System?
Hydraulic brake system components are mainly made up of the brake pedal, brake booster, master cylinder, hoses, slave cylinders (wheel cylinders), callipers, pads, and discs. Or drums and shoes for those cars that have drum brakes fitted.
