bubbles?
I noticed latelly brakes were a little hard. Found bubbles in rear brake hose. Hose is not even year old! Ordered new hose from napa this time. This hose better hold untill next Wensday! Complete brake system was replaced with everything new. Only rebuilt master cylinder. What might be causing this?

Re: bubbles?
That's nasty looking! Maybe a factory flaw that took
a while to rear it's ugly head? Lucky you caught it! |

Re: bubbles?
Could be but it also looks like your exhaust pipe is really close to that hose and may be closer if you have a load on the truck.

Re: bubbles?
exhaust would damage it from the outside in, not from the inside out.
This hose has failed inside the crimped fitting. Caused by poor quality control. That's probably spelled CHINA. |
