Beck/Arnley Brake Hydraulic Hose P/N:073-1560
Help keep firm, consistent pressure flowing to the front brakes with the Beck/Arnley Brake Hydraulic Hose 073-1573. This front brake hose drops in as a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1996-2002 BMW Z3, 1995-1999 BMW 318ti and 1998-1999 BMW 323i — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine-level details.
A brake hydraulic hose carries pressurized brake fluid from the vehicle's hard lines to the front caliper, flexing with steering and suspension travel so the fluid path stays connected as the wheels move.
Signs a brake hose may need replacing include a soft or spongy pedal, visible cracking or bulging in the hose, fluid seepage at the fittings, or a caliper that drags from a restricted internal passage. If a deteriorated front hose is the cause, this replaces it. Inspect and service brake hoses in pairs across an axle for balanced braking.
