- JBJoshua BarrierJul 19, 20251.0Bought an alternator in 2022, had a lifetime warranty, called yesterday and they looked it up, everything was good, brought it in today and they said I had already returned it. Bunch of liars thefts, I'll never shop there again, just spent another $180 for another one with a "lifetime warranty" at O'Reilly's.

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.
