This little piece connects your flexible brake hose – the rubber part you’ll see near the wheels – directly to the brake caliper. It's basically a threaded fitting that allows hydraulic fluid to flow from the hose into the caliper. That fluid is what actually squeezes the brake pads against the rotor to stop the car, so it needs a solid connection. It includes things like banjo bolts, crush washers, and sometimes even a short length of hose itself. Think of your entire brake system as a closed loop filled with fluid. This part is a critical link in that loop, specifically where the flexible line meets the solid caliper. It’s a pressure point, if you will. The fluid travels through the metal lines, into the flexible hose, and then through this fitting into the caliper. It needs to be leak – free to maintain proper braking force. Well, if this fails, you lose brake pressure to that wheel. Straight up. It's not always a catastrophic instant failure—sometimes you’ll notice a softer brake pedal, or it might take longer to stop. But you will notice if one wheel isn’t stopping as well as the others, or if the pedal feels spongy. It's a safety thing, plain and simple. These are wear items, and even though they seem small, they’re under a lot of pressure with every stop. We often see corrosion build up on them over time, especially in areas with road salt. You can find a good selection of these at places like Fixparts Online, and it's definitely something you want to address promptly if you suspect an issue. Replacing them is usually pretty straightforward, but if you’re not comfortable working on brakes, it’s best to let a professional handle it.
