A brake hydraulic hose is the flexible link in the brake system. It carries fluid between the rigid brake line and the brake at the wheel, and it flexes as the suspension moves. Over time a hose can crack, swell or seep fluid. Signs this part may need replacing include visible cracking or bulging, brake fluid wetness near the hose, or a soft or spongy pedal. Those symptoms can have other causes, so inspect the whole system first. If a worn hose is the cause, this Centric hose replaces it at the rear position.
