If a customer comes to you saying they saw fluid leaking from a suspension bushing, it probably means they may have hydraulic bushings on their vehicle. In this video, let’s discuss what hydraulic bushings are and some tips for properly servicing them. However, all bushings eventually wear out over time and need to be replaced.

Some hybrid systems apply hydraulic brakes at lower speeds. Under emergency conditions and ABS corrections, most EVs and hybrids will use hydraulic brakes exclusively. This is because not only is there an ABS hydraulic control unit but a brake pedal simulator. But, Toyota uses pressure transducers on each hydraulic circuit.

When you hit the brake pedal on most internal combustion vehicles, hydraulic pressure is generated by the master cylinder and sent to the calipers. The hydraulic pressure causes the calipers to clamp down on the brake pads and rotor. It is not until the last few miles per hour that the hydraulic brakes are engaged.
