- CPCorey PittsDec 8, 20252.0Staff is uninterested and condescending, very sterile and monotone atmosphere and unnecessary opinions shared by sales staff about products purchased that were returned under warranty. I should note that the salesperson made the comments specifically about my “buying cheap parts” and not criticizing the parts maker or the part itself.

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.
