FAQ
1. Why are -3 AN lines commonly used for performance brake systems?
-3 AN brake lines provide the hydraulic capacity required for most racing and off-road brake systems while maintaining excellent pressure control, compact routing, and reliable sealing under extreme operating pressures.
2. Why are stainless braided brake lines important on dual steer vehicles?
Dual steer systems experience significant suspension travel, steering articulation, and chassis vibration. Stainless braided flex lines help resist expansion under pressure while providing durability in harsh off-road environments.
3. What purpose do the stainless cushion clamps serve?
Cushion clamps secure brake lines while isolating vibration between the chassis and plumbing. Properly supporting the lines reduces abrasion, prevents fatigue, and helps extend brake line service life.
4. Why purchase a complete plumbing kit instead of individual fittings?
A complete kit ensures all major fittings, adapters, tees, sleeves, and tube nuts are designed to work together. This reduces compatibility issues, speeds installation, and helps eliminate plumbing leaks caused by mismatched components.
5. What should be checked before bleeding the brake system?
Verify that every fitting is fully seated, brake lines are securely supported, hoses have adequate clearance throughout steering and suspension travel, and all connections are tightened to specification before filling and bleeding the hydraulic system.
