Q:I have a 05 Pontiac Sunfire has 43,000 miles on it. My front left brake pad is wore down to the indicator, but my right front pad is fine. What happened? And. Can I change one side or should I go ahead and do both?

Some braking systems apply more pressure on the front left pad b/c the master cylinder on those vehicles lead to it firsthowever I doubt that is your problem b/c your vehicle is an '05. You're supposed to replace both brake pads at once. They're usually sold as pairs (4 pads) anyways, but if there isn't much wear at all on your right brake then it would be more economical to just change out the left. Especially if you're just going to need to change the left again. Most importantly, have a mechanic look at your brakes so you can determine the problem. One place you don't want to skimp on a vehicle is with the brakes. If they fail, you have the potential for serious and possibly fatal problems.

Q:So far as I know, both reservoirs are filled with brake fluid. But are these just two separate hydraulic systems or are they connected in some way?

They are two seperate systems are not connected. ???

Q:What is the car's braking system?

Simply say that the brake system, a lot of complex analysis ah,

Q:so my car breaks are pretty much in need of some new break fluid. my car keeps yelling at me every day i don‘t change it, and honestly I‘m a little scared to drive it before i get this problem fixed. i would look in the manual but i don‘t have one, so can you just tell me where the brake fluid goes, cus that would be just fantastic :)

If your brakes are squealing, then you need to get the brakes themselves checked out. Same if it has a brake light on or is giving a check brakes message. Some vehicles do have a low brake fluid warning, but when brake fluid is low, it's normally due to either worn out pads, or a leak in the system, which means you need to have the brakes checked out. While there's no easy way to simply change brake fluid, a brake fluid flush is a good idea if the fluid has absorbed too much water. Brake fluid absorbs water and other contaminants over time, and can become less effective, or even cause corrosion inside the brake system. I don't believe in too many of the flush services sold on cars these days, but coolant flushes and brake fluid flushes are both a good idea to do when they're needed. A shop trying to sell you the brake fluid (or coolant) flush should have test strips (or other tester) to show you against a chart that shows when the fluid is too dirty or not effective enough and needs flushing. The brake fluid reservoir is under the hood, near the driver's side of the firewall, but it's a good idea to let someone who knows what they're doing to check it and top it off if necessary, they should do this when checking the brakes.

Q:the service brake system warning and brakes light came o.

2006 Mercury Mariner Owners Manual

Q:So I went to have my car serviced and the guy told me that the my front brakes have 3mm brake pads, which is bad I figured.I‘m just curious on whether or not a 3mm brake pad has already made significant damage to the rotors, calipers, etc.?I‘m trying to see if I need to change just the brake pads or the whole system/part of the brake system.Thanks

He probably just meant your pads are low Meaning to changed the pads. Nothing else should be affected by low break pads aside from your discs. Discs are a rare thing to change but worth looking at

Q:What is the car's braking system

Divided into traffic brake, parking brake!

Q:95 Camaro, added a new caliper on the driver front side. Bled all the brakes. The ABS INOP light had came on a few times. Now when i go to brake there‘s a rattling it seems from the caliper and the low trac light comes on and the brakes have even gone out once or twice and i was lucky to steer away. Could this be a problem with the ABS system? Any other ideas?

Do you have any knowledge of how to bleed ABS systems? if No then stop working on it! take it to a mechanic mate save your self from crashing.

Q:Yesterday my 96 Dodge Intrepid started pumping the Anti-Lock Brakes when I got between 10-15 mph. There are no lights on the dash coming on, but the problem occurs in about 9/10 decelerations when coming to a stop. I just replaced the subframe bushings, headlights, and some hoses, so I want to keep the car. I‘d rather not take it into the mechanic as I can usually do most work myself, but this time I just don‘t know what the cause of the problem is or could be. Any suggestions?

yes if you pull the fuse you can use the brakes normally you obviously wont have abs and the light will stay on but the brakes will work fine.

Q:which car or which brake system for cars has the lowest 100-0 km/h or mph?(limit it to production cars)thanks!

Very definitely yes. Especially if the car hasn't been running much. Usually with these old cars a good lead additive and you're fine. But some ate so bad that you need to replace the fuel tank if you want that ruining again. To summarize: if the gas is old and the car hasn't been on in, say, six or more months, you need a fuel tank replacement not lead. If the car runs often and you've had it for a while, then lead would help out allot.
