BRAKE REPAIR

Acura MDX typically utilizes disc brakes as the primary braking system, with a standard anti-lock braking system (ABS). The disc brake system uses a caliper to press brake pads against a rotor attached to the wheel to slow or stop the vehicle. ABS is designed to prevent wheel lockup during heavy braking, allowing for better control.
