Whether you need to repair your brake lines as a matter of urgency or you simply wish to improve the appearance or performance of your vehicle for reasons of preference or taste, the specialist brake hoses from BrakeQuip may be ideal for your purposes.
But why might you need new brake hoses – and what is the benefit of investing in them in 2021? In this article, the brake and power steering system experts at BrakeQuip explain.
Replacing Your Brake Hose: Why Do It?
Damage to a brake hose can become very dangerous very quickly.
If a bulge or leak occurs, the hydraulic fluid contained within your brake lines will not be able to transfer the right amount of pressure in order to activate the brake pads, significantly increasing your stopping distance or even preventing you from braking altogether.
This can lead to serious accidents and expensive damage repair costs.
That’s why you should ideally replace rubber brake hoses every six years at most – or as soon as you notice a change in the feel of your brakes.
Many people also choose to replace their hoses for aesthetic or performance purposes too. Stainless steel brake lines look very sleek and are available in a range of colours to complement almost any paint job.
What’s more, many drivers report easier, more responsive handling when new and improved brake hoses are added to their vehicle.
Why Upgrade Your Brake Hoses in 2021?
It’s advisable to consider vehicular maintenance and improvements in detail during the earliest months of the year, as inclement weather can result in significant wear and tear.
However, there will also be a range of benefits inherent in replacing your brake hoses as 2021 wears on. As social distancing measures remain in place, many travellers will favour taking to their own individual vehicles instead of walking in crowded areas or using public transport.
This means that some individuals are more likely to tot up the mileage this year than they might have been previously.
The other end of the spectrum comes with working from home. If you are using your vehicle very rarely as a result of restrictions, the resulting inactivity may cause your hoses to age faster and become inflexible – which will make them more likely to bulge or split when eventually used.
Additionally, you may not inspect or maintain your vehicle as regularly as in previous years, so problems are more likely to go unnoticed.
