What causes glazed brake linings and how does glazing affect braking performance?
-
A
Moisture exposure causing surface rust — temporarily reduces braking until rust wears off
-
B
Overheating from excessive braking — creates a hardened, low-friction surface that reduces stopping power
-
C
Oil contamination from an axle seal leak — has minimal effect on brake performance
-
D
Normal use over high mileage — slightly improves brake modulation and feel
