How Often Should Brake Hoses Be Replaced?
1 Answers
Brake hoses should be replaced every 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers or every two years. If there is frequent rainfall or the vehicle is often driven in humid environments, it is recommended to shorten the replacement interval. Brake hoses have a limited service life, and any issues with them (including bubbling or bursting) can be extremely dangerous. Brake hoses are categorized into rubber brake hoses and nylon brake hoses based on their material. Rubber brake hoses offer strong tensile resistance and are easy to install, but their surfaces are prone to aging over time. Nylon brake hoses are resistant to aging and corrosion, but their tensile strength weakens in low temperatures, making them susceptible to cracking under external impact.
