What It Helps Address

• Cracked or aging front brake hose material
• Brake fluid seepage at the hose connection points
• Restricted brake fluid flow caused by hose deterioration
• Soft or inconsistent brake pedal feel related to hydraulic hose wear
• Front brake service on listed Volvo models

Installation Notes and Tips

• Confirm the vehicle year, model, and front-position fitment before installation.
• Verify the end fittings match the existing brake line connections: female thread ISO on one end and male thread on the other.
• Check hose routing, clearance, and wheel/tire clearance, especially on 2001 Volvo V70 models equipped with 15-inch wheels.
• Inspect adjoining brake lines, calipers, and mounting points for wear before completing the repair.
• Bleed the brake system after hose replacement to remove air from the hydraulic circuit.

Quality Assurance

Raybestos manufactures brake components for service applications that require vehicle-specific fitment and correct hydraulic connection details. BH380227 is built to the listed specifications for the confirmed Volvo front applications.
