Keep hydraulic pressure flowing to the front brakes with the Dorman - First Stop Brake Hydraulic Hose H38147, a flexible brake line that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1983-1985 and 1987-1988 Ford Ranger (all engines). Cataloged for the front left or front right position, it carries pressurized brake fluid from the hard line to the caliper while flexing with steering and suspension travel.
- Durable construction: built with EPDM rubber and corrosion-resistant, treated-steel banjo (End 1) and female (End 2) fittings.
- Position-specific fit: manufactured to precise measurements for the front left or right location for an exact fit and straightforward installation.
- Quality assured: DOT approved, with materials tested to government-regulated safety and durability standards.
- Key specs: 19.5 in overall length; gaskets included; mounting hardware and bracket not included.
A brake hose that is cracked, swollen, leaking, or bulging under pressure can cause a soft pedal or uneven braking; if a failed front hose is the cause, this replaces it. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether they may be reused.
