Mercedes Brake Hydraulic Line Rear - Genuine Mercedes 211420064864

Product Information

A brake hydraulic line is a high-pressure tube or hose in a vehicle’s braking system that carries brake fluid from the master cylinder to the brake calipers or wheel cylinders. It’s a critical part of a hydraulic braking system, where brake fluid pressure is used to apply the brakes.

Hydraulic lines can be made of steel tubing (hard lines) or reinforced flexible rubber/stainless braided hoses (flex lines, usually near the wheels to allow movement).

• Spongy or Soft Brake Pedal: Air or fluid leaks in the line reduce pressure, making the pedal feel soft or sink lower than normal.
• Reduced Braking Power / Increased Stopping Distance: A leak lowers fluid pressure, so brakes won’t engage as strongly.
• Brake Fluid Leaks: Visible puddles or drips under the car, usually near a wheel or along the undercarriage. Brake fluid is typically clear to light brown and slippery.

About Genuine Mercedes

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Mercedes-Benz are not necessarily manufactured by Mercedes-Benz. No cause for concern, as Mercedes-Benz designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Mercedes-Benz for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Mercedes-Benz logo.
