Voyager V6-3.3L VIN R (1999)
Brake Hose/Line: Service and Repair
Brake Tubing/Hose Replacement
CAUTION: When installing brake chassis lines or flex hoses on the vehicle, the correct fasteners must be used to attach the routing clips or hoses to
the front suspension cradle. The fasteners used to attach components to the front suspension cradle have an anti-corrosion coating due to the
suspension cradle being made of aluminum. Only Mopar replacement fasteners with the required anti-corrosion coating are to be used if a replacement
fastener is required when installing a brake chassis line or flex hose.
Only double wall 4.75mm (3/16 inches) steel tubing with Al-rich/ZW-AC alloy coating and the correct tube nuts are to be used for replacement of a
hydraulic brake tube.
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with traction control, the primary and secondary hydraulic tubes between the master cylinder and the hydraulic control
unit are 6 mm (15/64 inches). These tubes are also coated with the Al-rich/ZW-AC alloy and must be replaced with tubes having the same
anti-corrosion coating. Be sure that the correct tube nuts are used for the replacement of these hydraulic brake tubes.
Care should be taken when replacing brake tubing, to be sure the proper bending and flaring tools and procedures are used, to avoid kinking. Do not
route the tubes against sharp edges, moving components or into hot areas. All tubes should be properly attached with recommended retaining clips.
If the primary or secondary brake tube from the master cylinder to the ABS Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) or the brake tubes from the HCU to the
proportioning valve require replacement, only the original factory brake line containing the flexible section can be used as the replacement part. This
is required due to cradle movement while the vehicle is in motion.
