2. Vehicle recycling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_recycling

   Scrap vehicles at Barry Docks. The process of recycling a vehicle is extremely complicated, as there are many parts to be recycled and many hazardous materials to remove. Briefly, the process begins with incoming vehicles being inventoried for parts. The wheels, tires, battery, and catalytic converter are removed. Fluids, such as engine coolant ...

3. Inboard brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inboard_brake

   Inboard brakes also affect anti-pitch suspension geometry. There can be practical difficulties in servicing the brake mechanism. Instead of simply removing a wheel to renew pads and discs, the vehicle may need to be jacked up, so a mechanic can work underneath the vehicle. Additionally renewing brake discs can require dismantling the half axle.

4. Wrecking yard - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrecking_yard

   A wrecking yard (Australian, New Zealand, and Canadian English), scrapyard (Irish, British and New Zealand English) or junkyard (American English) is the location of a business in dismantling where wrecked or decommissioned vehicles are brought, their usable parts are sold for use in operating vehicles, while the unusable metal parts, known as ...

5. S-cam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-cam

   It consists of a shaft, usually around 4 to 25 inches long, turned at one end by means of an air-powered brake booster and lever with an S-shaped cam at the wheel end. Turning the shaft pushes the brake shoes against the drum, producing friction. The design allows bulky air cylinders to be located outside of the wheel.

6. Brake pad - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_pad

   Although brake pad wear is unique to each vehicle, it is generally recommended that brake pads be replaced every 50,000 miles, [6] while brake discs (or rotors) typically last longer, needing replacement every 70,000 miles. Malfunctions with brake pads can have many effects on the performance of a vehicle.

7. Limited-slip differential - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited-slip_differential

   A significant difference between the limited-slip differential systems listed above and this brake-based system, is that brake-based systems do not inherently send the greater torque to the slower wheel, plus the added brake friction material wear that results from the use of such a system if the vehicle is driven in an environment where the ...
