brake assembly
Vehicle deceleration system
A brake assembly is the complete set of components that work together to slow or stop a vehicle or machine.
This includes the brake pads or shoes, rotors or drums, calipers, and mounting hardware as an integrated unit.
Mechanics often replace the entire brake assembly rather than individual parts: The front brake assembly needs to be rebuilt.
