Front & Rear Split System
When the brake pedal is depressed, both the primary (front brake) and the secondary (rear brake) master cylinder pistons are moved simultaneously to exert hydraulic fluid pressure on their respective systems.
If the rear brake system fails, initial brake pedal movement will cause the unrestricted secondary piston to bottom in the master cylinder bore. Primary piston movement will displace hydraulic fluid in the primary section of the master cylinder to actuate the front brake system.
If the front brake system fails, initial brake pedal movement will cause the ...

Disc Brakes -> PBR Single Piston Rear Disc Brake -> Description
Vehicle: 2005 Cadillac XLR 4.6 V8 GAS
The rear caliper consists of a single piston and an aluminum housing which is suspended in a mounting bracket through two slide pins, Fig. . Hydraulic pressure, created by applying force to the brake pedal, acts equally against the piston and the bottom of the caliper bore to move the piston outward. This action slides the caliper inward, resulting in a clamping action on the brake rotor. This clamping acti...

Disc Brakes -> PBR Dual Piston Front Disc Brake -> Troubleshooting
Vehicle: 2005 Cadillac XLR 4.6 V8 GAS
The most common cause of brake chatter on disc brakes is a variation in disc thickness. If roughness or vibration is encountered during highway operation or if pedal pulsation is experienced at low speeds, the disc may have excessive thickness variation. To inspect for this condition, measure the disc at 12 points with a micrometer at a radius appro...
