Dorman H381299 Hydraulic Brake Hose Review

A bra was sent to me. Luckily my niece needed it, but it probably didn't cost as much as the brake part I needed. I'll try to order again because the price is decent but hopefully it's the brake part.

This part fits and looks well built and will not leak. As other reviewers have pointed out, one of the steel attachment points keeps the rubber hose taut when you turn the handlebars all the way in one direction. I was able to get the tubing to slide through the bracket without bending the metal into position, providing clearance either way. Used on a 2002 GMC Sierra 2WD pickup.

Good replacement brake hose. The only problem is that the brackets on it have to be undone and the hose has to be pulled down a bit after installation. If you don't do this, the hose will become taut at the point where it connects to the caliper as the wheel spins. Slightly lift the clamps around the hose and pull the hose down by turning the wheel back and forth. Make sure the hose has enough slack. When proper free play is found, lightly tighten the clamps (around the hose) with a hammer.

This is 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…
