Keep brake fluid flowing to the rear brakes with this Dorman brake hydraulic hose, part number H38996 from the Dorman - First Stop line. It is a direct-fit replacement for the rear left and rear right positions on the 1986-1991 Mazda RX-7. It is designed to match the original hose's fit, function and performance.
A brake hydraulic hose is the flexible link between the vehicle's rigid brake line and the brake assembly at the wheel. It carries brake fluid under pressure while flexing with suspension travel.
- Ideal replacement: precision-engineered to match the performance of the original brake hose on specific vehicles.
- Position-specific: made to precise measurements for an exact fit and easy installation.
- Quality assured: its materials are tested to exacting government-regulated safety and durability standards.
- Durable design: built with EPDM rubber and specially coated, corrosion-resistant fittings.
A brake hose may need replacing if you notice a soft or spongy pedal, cracks, bulging or swelling in the hose, or fluid seeping at the hose or its fittings. If a worn hose is the cause, this part replaces it. Check the opposite rear hose too, because replacing both rear hoses together is often recommended. After installation, bleed the brake system following the vehicle service information. Engine-specific application details are listed in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
