QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔Stuck parking brake cable - ✔✔A cable that is unable to release the parking brake
fully.
✔✔Improperly adjusted brake shoes - ✔✔Brake shoes that are not set correctly,
causing dragging brakes.
✔✔Leaking wheel cylinder - ✔✔A failure in the wheel cylinder that allows brake fluid to
leak.
✔✔Faulty master cylinder - ✔✔A malfunctioning component that generates hydraulic
pressure for the brakes.
✔✔Air in the brake lines - ✔✔Presence of air in the hydraulic brake lines, affecting
braking performance.
✔✔Brake fluid levels - ✔✔The amount of brake fluid present in the brake system
reservoir.
✔✔Normal pad wear - ✔✔The expected reduction in thickness of brake pads due to
use.
✔✔Warped brake rotors - ✔✔A condition where the brake rotors are not flat, causing
uneven braking.
✔✔Contaminated brake fluid - ✔✔Brake fluid that has been contaminated with moisture
or debris, affecting braking performance.
✔✔Internal leak in the master cylinder - ✔✔A failure in the master cylinder that allows
brake fluid to leak internally, leading to loss of braking pressure.
, ✔✔Faulty brake booster - ✔✔A malfunctioning device that assists in applying the
brakes, resulting in harder pedal effort.
