Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.

Electronic Brake Distribution
NOTE:
EBD adjusts braking pressure front-to-rear, based on the weight distribution of passengers and/or cargo. Weight distribution is typically determined via the relative difference in rotational speed of the front and rear wheels. Greater braking pressure, (and subsequently stopping power), is directed to the rear wheels when loads in the rear are heavier. This contributes to a more controlled stop, and minimizes ""brake dive"" during hard braking.
