MODEL 205
Only brake hoses approved by Mercedes-Benz may be installed. When connecting brake hoses make sure that the hose is not fitted in twisted condition (free of twists). An adequate distance from other axle components must be guaranteed in all driving situations.
Exception:
Under certain driving conditions (e.g. maximum steering angle and compression/rebound conditions) unstressed contact of the brake hose with fixed components is permissible.
On the brake hose connection piece there are two elevated sections (arrow) which lock the brake hose in the multi-point profile of the bracket.
