Detailed Overview:

Front Brakes:

Most BLS models are equipped with disc brakes on the front wheels. These brakes use a disc (rotor) that is pressed against brake pads, which are then applied to create friction and slow the vehicle.

Rear Brakes:

The rear brakes are typically drum brakes. These brakes use brake shoes and a drum to generate friction and slow down the vehicle.

Component Wear:

Brake pads, rotors, and other components will eventually wear out due to friction and use. It's important to inspect and maintain brakes regularly to ensure optimal stopping power.

Maintenance:

Brake maintenance includes inspections, pad replacements, rotor turning or replacement, and brake fluid servicing.

Common Problems:

Brake noises (squealing, chirping, grinding), pulsating brake pedal, and steering wheel vibration during braking can indicate issues that require attention.
