What is the process of brake fluid?
the braking system on cars is the movement of fluid through lines when you push on the pedal. the fluid extrudes the "pistons" inside the brake calipers/drums which are against the pads/shoes; and they then make contact with the rotor/drums to stop the vehicle.
the system needs to be ****air tight. bubbles/air in the lines makes for a major safety hazard and the pedal "soft"/travels too far towards the floorboard. every car has a master cylinder under the hood where you add fluid. ****make sure the level is within the minimum and max. level. overfilling it is a BIG mistake.
the master cylinder is what your brake pedal is connected to and it moves the fluid out when you push the pedal.
the basic concept/design of braking systems on cars hasn't changed in 40 years. trucks have a completely different type of braking.
