Im getting an overcompensating dip side to side when braking on my 1995 suburban 2500. I read that it may be a bad brake hose. I could use some advice on brake hose. As in what to buy. I see prices from $10.00 to $49.00 from the same parts suppliers. I dont want to skimp or spend unnecessarily on parts either. I was checking out rock auto and i figured i better start asking questions first. Thanks for any advice.

If your planning on replacing the brake hoses, I'd recommend using a Stainless Steel lines. They will surely outlast the factory rubber hoses and certainly improve the 'pedal feel' by offering a much firmer feel at the pedal. They also do not collapse or break down internally.
I would also look at the calipers, and make sure you don't have one side that is sticking. Over time, the brake fluid will break down and absorb moisture (which it does naturally) this causes condensation to get trapped in the system and eventually start corrosion of the caliper pistons and master cylinder. Ultimately causing the pistons to stick in the caliper making the vehicle pull from to one side. This also causes uneven pad wear.
Make sure to flush out all the old brake fluid and perform a complete brake bleeding when replacing the hoses.

Hope this helps.

Welcome to the club. Look out for the cheap parts as most are made in China or India. Pure crap! What is your life worth?
