If a customer comes to you saying they saw fluid leaking from a suspension bushing, it probably means they may have hydraulic bushings on their vehicle. In this video, let’s discuss what hydraulic bushings are and some tips for properly servicing them. However, all bushings eventually wear out over time and need to be replaced.

Transmission Fluid Hydraulics and Shifting To understand why using the correct transmission fluid is necessary, you first have to know how the transmission fluid flows inside an automatic transmission. This is basic hydraulics. Foamy fluid can change shift characteristics and the hydraulic operation of the transmission.

Where It Started: Hydraulic ARBs ARBs were introduced in the mid-to-late 1990s in some European vehicles. Hydraulic ARBs use hydraulic fluid to apply torsional force against the roll bar ( Figure 2 ). This is similar in principle to how hydraulic power steering systems apply force to the steering gear to provide steering assist.
