Brake hoses or brake lines, carry brake fluid between the master cylinder and the wheel cylinder or brake calipers - depending upon the type of brakes you have. The pressure from the brake fluid presses these parts against the discs or drums, causing the tires to stop. When brake hoses begin to have problems, they will usually display a few symptoms that can alert the driver that a potential problem has occurred; the brake pedal seems soft or weak, damaged or worn brake hose, leaking brake fluid or complete brake failure. When encountering any of these symptoms, it is imperative to have the braking system inspected immediately. As the braking system is one of the most important parts of any vehicle, we recommend having your braking system inspected at every servicing interval.
