A brake hydraulic hose is the flexible link that carries pressurized brake fluid from the vehicle's rigid brake line to the brake at the wheel, flexing as the suspension and steering move. Sunsong is a vertically integrated manufacturer of automotive fluid transfer hoses and lines, and it develops this hose for exact form, fit, and function.
Signs that a brake hose may need replacing include:
Inspect the brake system to confirm the cause before replacing the hose, and bleed the brakes after installation as described in the vehicle service information.
Which vehicles does this Sunsong brake hydraulic hose fit?
It fits the front right position on the 2004-2009 Kia Spectra and the 2005-2009 Kia Spectra5. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
What standards does the 2204817 hose meet?
Sunsong states that its brake hoses meet or exceed DOT, FMVSS 106, and SAE J1401 standards. Each hose is also high-pressure tested before it leaves the factory.
Does it come with washers or brackets?
Hoses with banjo end fittings include new copper washers. Brackets, grommets, guards, clips, and sleeves are included as the application requires.
What are signs of a failing brake hose?
A cracked, swollen, or bulging cover, fluid leaks at the hose or its fittings, and a soft or spongy pedal can be signs that a hose needs replacing. These signs can have other causes, so diagnose the brake system first.
Do I need to bleed the brakes after installing it?
Yes. Replacing a brake hose opens the hydraulic system, so bleed the brakes afterward to remove air, following the vehicle service information.
