Drum brakes stop the vehicle through the use of a wheel cylinder that pushes a brake shoe against the inside of a spinning drum.
Disc brakes use a caliper fitted with brake pads to grab a spinning disc (rotor).
A vehicle’s Anti-lock Braking System is comprised of several key components – among them the electronic ABS controller.
