Brake caliper
Brake rotor
Wheel cylinder
Brake booster
#19

Which of the following statements about brake fade is true?

Brake fade occurs when the brake pedal becomes too firm to depress
Brake fade is caused by excessive braking temperatures
Brake fade is more likely to occur in wet weather conditions
Brake fade results in increased braking efficiency
#20
