Check For Deterioration Or Leaks

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Inspection of brake hoses should be included in all brake service operations.

The hoses should be checked for:

  1. Incorrect length, severe surface cracking, pulling, scuffing or worn spots. (If the fabric casing of the hoses is exposed by cracks or abrasion in the rubber hose cover, the hoses should be replaced. Eventual deterioration of the hose and possible bursting failure may occur).
  2. Incorrect installation, twisting or interference with wheel, tire or chassis.
