Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I read in nov. import service magazine that the rear brake hose will fail if the vehicle is lifted by the frame. if this is correct won't the brake hose fail when the rear wheel drop into a hole in the road? i do not own such a vehicle but am concerned if there report was correct that this will be a problem. they reported that the rear brake hose was too short and the rear axle will need to be tied up before the truck is lifted by the frame. page 19 in tech. tips section.
