Brakes

I know its not suspension but it is related to an extent. When you redo the hard line from the master does the tubing have to be of equal length or can one be shorter then the other. The reason being is i've noticed most vehicles left line is coiled while the right is straight. I've never measured it guess i'm lazy. So I come to the next best source. Thanks max and fellow ssmers.

No, they dont have to be equal length.

i may be wrong but i had read somewhere that reason for the coils is so the line can flex or strech.

I believ your right on that one Nick. But as for equal length, no they dont have to be. pressure is pressure and will be the same no matter what the length of tubing is.

The coils are there so the frame and body can flex independently from each other without work hardening the line.

Seth is a dirty bastard, but he's also right. The coiled up tube is to spread the movement between the cab and frame over a long piece of line instead of a short piece.

Oh, and the brake line lengths do not need to be the same.

hey seth i thought the coils were to prevent moisture buildup in the lines

If that was the case then every line would be coiled and we would all have lots of problems with moisture in our brake lines.

i guess what i meant to say it also prevents moisture, brake fluid can absorb moisture, and those coils act like a vapor trap
