Has anyone seen this kind of failure on there rear brake hoses? Is there a factory service buliten on on this? Maybe there should be....
Issue: 2010 LR4 @ 60k rear hose brake line bulges or bubbles. (See pictures)
I was doing a pad replacement on my rear brakes and noticed a bulge in the rear line at the body attachment point on the passenger side. Out of curiosity I checked the drivers side too and noticed the bulge at the exact same place. Seems like too much of a coincidence for both sides to fail at the same place. I ordered all four lines(body to axle and axle to caliper) since it made no sense to have to go through the whole bleed process and not replace all 4 lines. Any feedback would be appreciated or any advice / warnings on the brake bleed process after replacing lines . Is this a know or common issue or am I just this lucky. Btw the lines have not failed yet, the oil you see is just penetrating oil I put on the fittings to ease my pain when I go to replace the lines.
