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.

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.

Where It Started: Hydraulic ARBs ARBs were introduced in the mid-to-late 1990s in some European vehicles. Hydraulic ARBs use hydraulic fluid to apply torsional force against the roll bar ( Figure 2 ). This is similar in principle to how hydraulic power steering systems apply force to the steering gear to provide steering assist.

Some hybrid systems apply to hydraulic brakes at lower speeds. Since regenerative braking uses the hydraulic brake sparingly, it’s common to come across a hybrid or EV with 70,000 or a 100,000 miles with the original set of front brake pads. Here’s the short answer. Brake pads, calipers and fluid.

Hybrids prioritize using regenerative braking, so the pedal acts more like an input to the ABS module requesting braking force rather than a direct hydraulic pressure request. Under normal operation, hydraulic brake pressure comes from the ABS module’s electric pump motor, not the driver’s foot, providing a consistent pedal feel.

During deceleration, the direction of oil flow in the converter reverses because the turbine becomes the driving component.
