Review on Dorman H381299 Hydraulic Brake Hose by Daniel Warren

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not a bad deal. for hoses, lines and fittings

That's a very good price. It's about $10 less than my local parts store and I get free shipping for two days. Pros - Great value - Copper washers included - Brackets fit perfectly - Banjo bolt included Cons - Upper control arm (UCA) bracket, while it fits perfectly on the UCA, it clamps the hose too far on the hose. When the hose was connected and the wheels turned all the way to the right, it was the passenger side hose that was putting too much stress on the hose, especially where the hose is bent into the bracket that holds the hose to the steering knuckle. As a solution to this problem, I drilled a hole in the UCA mount 5/16" from the top, this is the part of the mount that lies next to the chassis. This created enough slack to relieve the hose at the ankle. Bracket.

Pros
  • hoses, lines and fittings
Cons
  • difficult to say
