every time Ynur brakes have one purpose: slopping your vehicle. That means slopping your cai. van or truck 100 times out of 100--not 99. II means slop ping from ihy speed. It means stopping when brakes are brand new and when they've travelled thousands of miles. It means slopping when brakes^re dry or wet or cold orhot. If your brakes fail you only once, that's one time too many for us, tor the service dealer who installed them, and especially for you and your loved ones. Safe stopping depends on many closely related factors. The most important is the quality of fric tion materials used in drum brake shoes and disc brake pads.
