- LMLiz Mya.Nov 5, 20252.0they sold me the wrong part and they told me it would fit (they trusted the computer) but when I look under the hood, the part they gave me is completely different from the part that is already there but broken. I'd expect professional employees to know when to trust the computer and when it's necessary to double check what the computer says against what's under the hood.

The type of battery also has an affect on the price whether it be a lead/acid, calcium, lithium-ion, deep-cycle.
HOW DO BRAKES WORK?
Expand FAQ item
Brakes work by using friction to turn kinetic energy into heat. There are two designs: drum brakes (older), and disc brakes (newer). Both use hydraulic pressure to move a piston outward. In disc brakes, the piston is located inside a caliper that houses brake pads and fits over the rotor. The friction lining on the pads makes contact with the rotor to slow the vehicle. In drum brakes, the piston moves two curved shoes lined with friction material against the inside of the brake drum.
