Keep firm, responsive braking flowing to the front wheels with the Dorman First Stop Brake Hydraulic Hose H53540, a flexible front brake hose that carries pressurized brake fluid from the hard line to the wheel while flexing with suspension and steering movement. It's cataloged for the front-left and front-right positions and installs as a direct-fit replacement across a wide range of classic applications, including the 1962-1964 Buick Electra, 1963-1968 Chrysler 300, 1962-1969 Dodge Polara, 1972-1974 Dodge W200 Pickup, and 1962-1967 Plymouth Belvedere (All engines) — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of 74 applications.
It uses a male 7/16 in-24 threaded fitting on End 1 and a female fitting with a 3/8-24 inside diameter on End 2, and measures 13.75 in overall in black. Sold individually; it does not include mounting hardware, a bracket, a gasket or seal, or a jacket — consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether they may be reused. Cracked, bulging, or leaking rubber and a soft, spongy pedal are signs a flexible brake hose may need replacing; if a failed hose is the cause, this replaces it. Country of origin: China.
