Detailed Description
This Dorman brake hose is built as an OE-style replacement for the front left brake line on Ford Aerostar applications. The flexible hose construction uses EPDM rubber and a black outer sleeve to support proper brake fluid transfer while maintaining the routing and connection style expected for the original brake system. Dorman H38342 is a practical choice when replacing a worn, cracked, or leaking brake hydraulic hose on 1986-1987 Ford Aerostar vehicles.

Common Repair Uses
- Brake fluid seepage at the hose ends
- Cracked or weathered rubber hose material
- Soft or inconsistent brake pedal feel caused by hose deterioration
- Corrosion or wear at the treated steel fittings
- Restoring proper front left brake hose routing on Ford Aerostar models
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the front left position and confirm the banjo and female end configurations before installation. Inspect the mating surfaces and replace damaged seals as needed; gaskets are included. Because mounting hardware and brackets are not included, reuse or source the required vehicle-specific components separately if needed. After installation, bleed the brake system and check carefully for leaks.
Quality Assurance
Dorman designs this brake hydraulic hose to match the original hose’s fit, function, and performance on the listed Ford Aerostar applications. H38342 is intended for safe, long-lasting service as part of a complete brake repair.
