Steel brake tubing runs from the front to the rear of the vehicle. Rubber hoses provide a flexible connection from the steel brake tubing to the brake system hydraulic components. Why are flexible rubber connections required?

What will be an ideal response?


Flexible rubber connections are necessary because the front wheels pivot during steering, and the front and rear axles move up and down as the springs deflect. When a vehicle has independent rear suspension or disc brakes, each rear wheel is served by its own flexible hose.
