Brake Flexible Hose

The flexible brake hoses attach the rigid metal brake lines to brake calipers and/or wheel cylinders. This flexibility allows free movement in the wheels and the suspension.

Symptoms of a Bad or Failing Brake Flexible Hose

• Pedal may sink slowly when braking
• Visible cracks on the hoses
• Uneven braking, such as pulling to the left or right while braking
• Brakes may feel slightly applied or drag when the vehicle is moving 
• In extreme cases, the brake pedal effort will feel normal, but the vehicle will not stop as it should
