Technician A says low-drag calipers retract the pistons and pads farther from the rotor than traditional calipers. Technician B says systems that use low-drag calipers cannot use quick take-up master cylinders. Who is correct?
A)A only
B)B only
C)both A and B
D)neither A nor B

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Technician A is correct because low-drag calipers are designed to retract the pistons and pads farther from the rotor to reduce drag and improve fuel efficiency. Technician B is incorrect because systems with low-drag calipers can indeed use quick take-up master cylinders, which are designed to quickly move the pads into contact with the rotor to compensate for the increased retraction distance.
