A brake hose is the flexible link between the rigid brake lines and the brake at the wheel. It carries fluid under pressure while allowing for suspension and steering movement. Sunsong is a vertically integrated maker of automotive fluid transfer hoses and lines, and it designs its hoses around what installers need, with the aim of exact form, fit and function.
- Standards and testing: Meets or exceeds DOT, FMVSS 106 and SAE J1401 standards. Each hose goes through a high-pressure quality assurance test before it leaves the factory.
- Supplied as required: Brackets, grommets, molded plastic guards, wire clips and protective sleeves are included where the application calls for them, so the wearable pieces are renewed along with the hose.
- Zinc-plated steel tubing: The tubing is made from high-grade steel and electroplated with zinc. The plating resists rust and corrosion from humidity, road salt, water and grime.
- Banjo sealing: Hoses with banjo end fittings come with new copper washers for proper sealing.
Signs a brake hose may need replacing include a soft or spongy pedal, fluid seeping at the hose or its fittings, and a cracked, chafed or bulging outer cover. Inspect the brake system to confirm the cause, and bleed the brakes after installation according to the service procedure.
