What is EPDM rubber and why is it used in brake hoses?

EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) is a synthetic rubber known for its excellent resistance to heat, ozone, and weathering. This makes it a durable choice for brake hoses, which are exposed to high temperatures from the braking system and the elements.

What are the signs that my rear left brake hose needs to be replaced?

Signs of a worn brake hose include visible cracks, swelling, or leaks around the hose. You might also notice a spongy feeling in the brake pedal or a decrease in braking performance. It's best to inspect them regularly.

Does this brake hose come with new banjo bolts or washers?

This DFC brake hose is sold as pictured and typically includes the hose itself. It's recommended to check the product packaging or consult the manufacturer's installation guide to confirm if any hardware like banjo bolts or washers are included, as they may need to be reused from the old hose or purchased separately.

Lincoln MKT 2016-2018

Product Details

The rubber compound used in this brake hose is EPDM, which is known for its resistance to heat and ozone. This is important because brake hoses are located near hot components and are exposed to the elements. This DFC brake hose is designed to replace the original hose on the rear left side of your 2016-2018 Lincoln MKT.

A properly functioning brake hose is crucial for safe stopping. It carries brake fluid from the master cylinder to the brake caliper, allowing your brakes to engage. Over time, brake hoses can crack, swell, or leak, especially with exposure to road debris and brake fluid. Replacing a worn hose with a well-built one like this DFC part helps ensure consistent brake performance and helps prevent leaks.

This hose is a direct fit for the specified Lincoln MKT models, meaning it should install without modification. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for proper procedure and any required hardware.
