Lucas Auto Care - Houston, TX

Before summer begins or if you're A/C is blowing hot air, come to Lucas Auto Care for a check. We'll visually check hoses, lines, seals and other components for leaks, check temperature readings, check that your compressor is operating properly, and inspect the drive belt for cracks or damage. You may simply need a recharge of the refrigerant - or the inspection could call for other service, like a new compressor. Plus your air conditioning belt drives many other components in your vehicle, meaning a broken belt can have a much worse impact than simply an uncomfortable trip. It takes an expert to tell, so take your car to Lucas Auto Care and let the experts give you the peace of mind knowing that your vehicle will keep you cooler and safer.

Leverage, friction and hydraulic force are required to bring everything to a halt. The driver's leg pressure and foot pedal are what supply the leverage. Levers and rods are what connect the pedal to the power booster. Using either the hydraulic pump or the engine vacuum, the power booster transfers the leverage's force to the master cylinder.

The heart of your vehicle's hydraulic system is in the master cylinder. The master cylinder uses leverage to apply the force that is needed to deliver brake fluid in the steel lines, rubber hoses, valves to the wheel cylinders and hydraulic calipers. Afterwards, friction is created by the hydraulic pressure. Disc brakes use a hydraulic caliber to grab the rotor or spinning disc. On the other hand, drum brakes use a hydraulic wheel cylinder. Both of these brakes have been made for precise movement.

If a driver applies a lot of force to the brake pedal, he or she will be able to generate a greater stopping force. Today, most vehicles have anti-lock brake system in them. This anti-lock brake system have electronic sensors that can even pump the brakes in the event that you make an emergency stop.
