snatch, pull or drag
I went into troubles when translating an auto article, in which I have several terms that I do not understand. The source is as follows:
Test the brakes at several speeds within the normal operating range using both light and heavy pedal pressure. Note any tendency to snatch, pull or drag, and any undue delay in application or release.
Can anybody tell me what is the meaning of snatch, pull and drag respectively? A million thanks in advance.
