The car BRAKE HOSE is a part used in the car braking system. Its main function is to transmit the braking medium during the car braking process, to ensure that the braking force is transmitted to the car brake shoe or caliper to generate power, so that the brake is effective at any time. In the braking system, in addition to the pipe joint, it is also used to transmit or store the hydraulic pressure, air pressure or vacuum of the car brake.
Its replacement cycle is generally 30,000 kilometers or about 3 years, but it will vary due to factors such as the vehicle use environment and driving habits. As a key component of the braking system, it shoulders the heavy tasks of transmitting braking medium and adjusting pressure, which plays a decisive role in the instant transmission of braking force. Different use environments such as heavy rain or humid environments will accelerate its aging. The degree of loss of hoses with different driving habits is also different. Therefore, it is recommended to check regularly and replace it in time if there are abnormalities such as aging.
It is important to know that the aging speed of BRAKE HOSE of different materials is also different. Rubber materials are relatively more prone to aging. Under normal use, it may be close to 3 years of service life. You need to pay attention to its status. When there are signs of aging such as surface hardening and fine cracks, you need to consider replacing it. Although nylon performs better in some performances, its tensile strength will be weakened in low temperature environments. If the vehicle is often driven in low temperature areas, it is also necessary to pay attention to whether it has performance changes, and performance problems should be dealt with in time.
Driving habits will also affect its loss. Bad driving habits such as sudden braking and frequent braking will cause the hose to bear greater pressure and impact force, accelerating its wear and aging. For vehicles that are often driven like this, the hose may have problems in less than 30,000 kilometers and need to be replaced in advance. Therefore, everyone should pay attention to driving smoothly when driving, reasonably predict road conditions to reduce unnecessary braking, and help extend its service life.
In short, there is no absolute time standard for when to change the car BRAKE HOSE. We can consider many aspects based on the driving environment of the vehicle, the wear and tear caused by our driving habits, etc. We can check regularly to avoid driving risks.
