- 3. Do drum brakes have the anti-lock feature?
- 4. Do cars differ in the number of wheels on which anti-lock is supported?
-
- Yes and yes. An example is Ford pickups. They have anti-lock brakes on
- the rear drums. I don't know if you can get anti-lock on the front discs.
- It's done on the pickup to keep the rear end from swinging around to the
- front in a panic stop. If any actual cars do this, I don't know.
