Diagram Ref No 10

The front brake hose is a flexible hydraulic connection within the braking system. It carries pressurised brake fluid between the rigid brake pipework and the moving front brake assembly while accommodating normal steering and suspension movement.

When the brake pedal is pressed, the master cylinder generates hydraulic pressure. This pressure travels through the brake pipes and flexible hoses to operate the wheel brake components. For the system to function correctly, the brake hose must remain securely sealed while resisting expansion under pressure.

Brake hoses deteriorate with age. Repeated flexing, heat, moisture, road contamination and long-term exposure can cause cracking, hardening, swelling or internal deterioration. A hose can also become restricted internally even when its exterior appears relatively serviceable.

Replacing a deteriorated hose with this OE Match 370mm Front Brake Hose helps restore dependable hydraulic pressure transfer and safe operation of the front drum braking system.

What This Product Does:

• Carries pressurised brake fluid to the front brake assembly.
• Provides a flexible connection between rigid hydraulic components.
• Is specified at approximately 370mm in length.
• Is intended for compatible applications with drum brakes.
• Accommodates normal steering movement.
• Accommodates suspension travel.
• Maintains hydraulic pressure during braking.
• Supports correct operation of the front wheel brakes.
• Helps provide consistent brake pedal response.
• Maintains a sealed hydraulic braking circuit.
• Replaces a cracked, leaking, swollen or internally restricted hose.
• Provides an OE Match replacement for compatible Porsche applications.  
  
  

Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:

• Cracks in the hose exterior.
• Perished or deteriorated rubber.
• Hose becoming unusually hard.
• Bulging or swelling.
• Brake fluid leaking from the hose.
• Wetness around the end fittings.
• Corroded hose fittings.
• Damaged threaded connections.
• Abrasion or chafing.
• Exposed hose reinforcement.
• Hose twisted or incorrectly routed.
• Soft or spongy brake pedal.
• Increased brake pedal travel.
• Vehicle pulling during braking.
• Uneven front braking.
• Brake remaining partially applied.
• Wheel brake slow to release.
• Excessive heat from one wheel.
• Brake-fluid level dropping.
• Reduced braking performance.  

Why Replacement Matters:

• The flexible brake hose must contain substantial hydraulic pressure whenever the brakes are applied.
• A weakened hose may expand excessively under pressure, reducing the efficiency with which pedal force is transferred to the brakes. More severe deterioration can result in leakage or hose failure.
• Replacing a deteriorated Front Brake Hose helps maintain the integrity of the hydraulic braking system.
