Sounds like half the shops in Merriam and Olathe to me. A Certified Master Tech would never tell me that 1/16th of an inch on a brake line of all things "doesn't matter". |

But 1/16" is making a big difference on a line that could be 8 feet long...
And no brake lines are different lengths. ok guy... What about thepickups that the passenger side line runs into the drivers side line in the drivers wheel well then runs over? Wouldn't that be pretty unbalanced? Posted via Mobile Device |

A little.
I Love when these backwoods shadetree mechanics that spent zero time actually testing, at school, and being paid by your employer for training, tell me that something "Doesn't matter", all because they did work on a farm truck that sees 500 miles of road and 1500 miles of fields annualy, and didn't have an issue. Meanwhile I'm over here on fleet vehicles hitting 20-30k a year on the road where there are other vehicles. I paid my dues, got my certs, went through training, and actually have the mental capacity to understand 'why" and "where" which is why I am a Specialist, and he tells me I'm wrong. Its my job to be right dude. |

What happens? For those that want to know. The shorter the distance from the master cylinder to the caliper, the sooner braking force will be applied on that caliper. What happens when one side of the car brakes before the other? It pulls. Is pulling a good thing? Apparently according to Jason. |

I'm also not fresh out of school either, I've got a decade under my belt as a mechanic, and worked for 2 different dealerships and was co-owner of my own shop until January of this last year. Safe to say I know a thing or two buddy. Right? |

Restricted lines or hoses cause pulls. Again, what about a pickup that the line comes from the master to the lf wheel well and the rf line tires into it there and runs all the way to the Rf wheel? Why doesn't the truck pull left? You are wrong. Posted via Mobile Device |

If you're going to test me on my knowledge, take 5 seconds or 5 hours or however long it takes you to do so, and actually write me a descriptive, intelligible question so that I can answer it. I am not wrong, braking in just about 90% of the light trucks and cars on the road today is not 100% pressurized and contained, and thus the length of the brake lines from master cylinder to caliper are incredibly important. |
