Maximum per wheel controls brake strength when pedal is fully depressed. Brake balance affects wheel braking distribution (0-100% front-rear). RWD cars should have slightly forward brake balance, FWD rearward. Hill braking requires different bias settings: higher for downhill, lower for uphill
First steering wheel appeared in 1894 with Alfred Vacheron's Panhard. Charles Rolls introduced first British car with steering wheel in 1898. Rambler pioneered left-hand drive in 1903, followed by most other manufacturers
Steering wheel controls vehicle direction by converting driver's commands into wheel movements. Modern wheels often include cruise control, audio system, and heating features. Works through mechanical contact, hydraulic power steering, or electric motors
Steering wheel controls vehicle direction through mechanical and hydraulic systems. Converts rotational input into linear wheel movement using rack and pinion system. Modern wheels often include cruise control and audio system controls
