Something I've always wondered. Is the swelling of rubber brake
components related to the early or old rubber compounds that are often
found in our cars; or, is it related to using the wrong brake fluid? It
would seem in this day and age all fluids ought to be compatable with
all 'new' rubber compounds.
What does the 'group' think about this?
