| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Brake Disc | Transmits braking force from brake pads to the hub assembly |
| Brake Pads | Uses friction against disc to resist forward momentum. |
| Master Cylinder | Hydraulic ram thats pressurises the braking system. |
| Servo | Assists driver to apply brakes. |
| Wheel Cylinder | Converts hydraulic pressure to linear expansion against brake shoes. |
| Brake Shoes | Uses friction against drum to resist forward momentum. |
| Brake Drum | Transmits braking force from shoes to hub assembly. |
| Hygroscopic | Property of brake fluid meaning to absorb moisture (water) |
| Brake Fluid | Hydraulic oil used in braking system to transmit pressure. |
| Self Servo Action | Brake shoe assembly set up that produces an assisting force to aid the driver. |
| Flexi Hose | Flexible hydraulic pipe which allows movement of steering and suspension. |
