Dorman - First Stop Brake Hydraulic Hose P/N:H380512
Keep brake fluid flowing to the rear brakes with this Dorman brake hydraulic hose, part number H38840 from the Dorman - First Stop line. It serves as the flexible link between the vehicle's rigid brake line and the rear brake assembly. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1991-2003 Ford Escort, 1991-1999 Mercury Tracer and 1992-1995 Mazda MX-3. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.
Cataloged for the rear left and rear right positions, H38840 is precision-engineered to match the performance of the original brake hose on specific vehicles. That makes it a solid choice as part of a complete brake repair.
Signs a brake hose may need replacing include visible cracking, bulging or chafing, brake fluid seepage at the hose or its fittings, and a soft or spongy pedal.
