Key Brake Components:

Brake Rotors:

These are the discs that the brake pads clamp down on to create friction and slow the vehicle.

Brake Calipers:

These house the brake pads and apply pressure to the rotors when the brake pedal is pressed.

Brake Pads:

These are friction materials that press against the rotors.

Hydraulic System:

This system uses brake fluid to transfer the force from the brake pedal to the calipers.

Antilock Braking System (ABS):

This system prevents the wheels from locking up during hard braking, allowing the driver to maintain steering control.

Brake Pad Options:

Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB):

Various brake pad types are available for the Buick LeSabre, including semi-metallic, ceramic, and severe-duty options

Maintenance and Replacement:

Regular maintenance, including brake pad and rotor replacement, is essential for optimal braking performance and safety. When replacing brake pads, it is recommended to inspect and lubricate the caliper slider pins
