Why will many cars soon begin to wedge wheels en masse

Many drivers are familiar with the situation when one of the wheels stops spinning. Although it appears to have been recently serviced and new parts installed. There can be many reasons – from the most banal to quite complex. What to do in any case, especially if there is no repair shop nearby, says the AvtoVzglyad portal.
Most mates faced a shortage of branded consumables, so they began replacing them with non-genuine ones. Sellers assure that the quality of such parts is at a high level. Unfortunately, such statements can only be verified in “combat conditions”.
Here’s one of the most common situations that end up in trouble. In frost, the driver pulls on the “handbrake”, and at night the brakes “grab”. So much so that the car cannot move. Usually a civilian presses the gas strongly and “breaks” them. If you do this regularly, the discs will wear out quickly. And cheap Chinese pads often just fall apart: the friction part is separated from the steel plate.
The result is that the car pulls to the side and deceleration efficiency drops sharply. In this case, it will be possible to slowly get to the service, where new parts will be delivered. Of course you have to pay for that again. But there are worse situations.
If the rear brake “machines” are drums, the debris simply jams the entire mechanism. You can only pull them out by dismantling the button. What must we do? Check that the wheel can turn in any direction. If the car can move forward but not backward, you’re in luck. So it is quite realistic to go to the gas station on your own. Otherwise you will have to call a tow truck.
In an era of shortage of “native” parts, it is especially difficult for owners of Japanese cars. After all, models such as the Honda CR-V or Suzuki Vitara have traditionally been characterized by problems with the brakes. Let’s say the discs stick to the hub due to heat and moisture. And the parking brake cables rust and lose their flexibility. The bottom line is that even new brake pads start to wedge.
This requires a serious inspection of the entire system. You may need to order a “firm” to troubleshoot. Asian analogues without a name will not live long. And then they will bring the problems described above.
