The Bendix Ultimate 4WD Brake Hose kits offer several advantages over traditional OEM rubber hoses. These kits are designed to enhance braking performance, provide a better pedal feel, and ensure long-term reliability. While rubber hoses have been widely used in vehicles due to their flexibility and durability, they are prone to degradation over time, poor maintenance, and misuse. These factors can compromise the braking system's performance and even lead to dangerous fluid leaks.To address these issues, Bendix Ultimate 4WD Hoses incorporate a multi-layer construction that builds upon the strengths of rubber hoses. The inner layer of the hose is made of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), a highly resistant material that withstands degradation caused by age or contamination. This inner layer also prevents the hose from bulging, which can occur in older rubber hoses and affect braking performance.The stainless steel braid surrounding the hose provides additional protection. It shields the hose from road debris, off-road obstacles, and even damage in the event of an accident. Moreover, the braid is safeguarded against abrasion by a blue protective layer, which not only adds a distinctive Bendix touch but also enhances its durability.In addition to the advanced hose construction, the Bendix Ultimate 4WD Brake Hose kits feature chromed steel ends. These ends are covered with a rubber molding that serves two purposes. Firstly, it secures the hose in place, providing strain relief and preventing the hose from becoming dislodged. Secondly, it protects the crimped connection from fatigue, ensuring long-lasting reliability.Overall, the Bendix Ultimate 4WD Brake Hose kits offer an upgraded solution for vehicles that require improved braking performance and long-term reliability. By combining a PTFE inner layer, stainless steel braid, protective layer, and secure rubber molding, these kits provide enhanced safety and durability for off-road and regular driving conditions.
