(score: 1): Author: "Simon Matthews" <simon.d.matthews@gmail.com>; Date: Thu, 12 Oct 2006 15:04:39 -0700; I thought dual braking systems were split diagonally -- so one circuit operates front-left, plus rear-right, while the other circuit operates front-right and rear-left.

Post-65 American cars with drum brakes use dual MCs. The dual circuit is a redundant safety feature, not inherently related to disc brakes.; /html/mgs/2006-10/msg00128.html (9,467 bytes)

Early MGBs didn't have split braking systems but kept pretty much the same front and rear brakes all through. UK cars got the split system much later.

Some Citroens had steering geometry whereby the wheel turned around its own centre (or very close), so it would be unaffected by one brake not functioning.

The cause of swerving under braking with one-sided brake failure is because one side of the car is being retarded, and the other not.
