Braided Extended Brake Line – Rear Chassis to Diff – Landcruiser 70 ABS 8/14+ – Roadsafe

Why Change the brake lines? Every time you apply pressure to the brake pedal, your brake line rubber expands a bit due to the high hydraulic pressure (volumetric expansion) used during braking. This eventually causes the brake lines to ‘soften’, increasing with age, resulting in a soft, spongy feel in the brake pedal. When you have that feeling then it is possible that new brake lines are required. If a lift has been fitted to the vehicle, with already softened brake lines this can further result in brake line failure.

Why Braided Brake Lines? By putting a stainless steel braid around the rubber brake line the potential for expansion, due to the high pressures and high temperatures, is reduced. This gives the brake lines a consistent line pressure resulting in a more efficient braking system and firmer feeling in the brake pedal. More efficient braking further results in reduced braking distances during a hard stop.
