Brake System Components That Can Fail
master cylinder
The main component of the brake system is the master cylinder, which stores the brake fluid until it is needed by the brakes through the brake lines. The brake fluid can leak if the master cylinder or the brake lines are damaged, which can ruin the brake pads.
brake fluid
The brake fluid can also get dirty or contaminated by moisture or debris, which can cause rust and damage the ABS brake system. Clean brake fluid is clear or slightly yellow, while dirty brake fluid is brown or black. Old and dirty brake fluid can harm the ABS brake system from inside.
brake lines
The brake lines are connected to a device called a combination valve, which regulates the pressure on the front and rear wheels. This device ensures that the wheels brake at the same time and prevents skidding. However, if the combination valve is faulty, it can cause the wheels to lock up dangerously.
Brake pads and shoes
Brake pads and shoes (ceramic, metal or organic) and disc rotors and drums (metal) wear down over time from friction. If they wear out completely, metal parts grind and damage each other. Some pads have a metal strip that makes noise when worn, but only when the car moves and brakes are not applied.
