What Is Rear Disc Brakes And How Do They Work

Question: What is rear disc brakes and how do they work?
Answer:
The disc brakes on the rear are essentially the same as the disc brakes on the front wheel. Let's see what a disc brake is before explaining why the rear disc brakes differ from the disc brakes in the front. Disc brakes are responsible for stopping the vehicle. They consist of three main parts: brake pads, a caliper and a rotor. The brake pads are located on each side of the rotor and are effectively pressed against the rotor to stop the wheel and stop the vehicle. The blocks create the friction necessary to stop the vehicle. The caliper is a device on the top of the rotor and contains the two brake pads.
