A couple of months ago, I bought all 3 brake hoses from the same retailer on eBay. They were available locally, but eBay was cheaper. All 3 arrived together in the same shipping box and they were all the same brand, Dorman in separate Dorman boxes. They all look like new/never used parts. The part numbers checked out and I checked them against the originals-they looked the same so I put them on a shelf until the rebuild commenced.

Like you, I figured that the name on the box was the same as the part inside.

Well, no.

Just started putting stuff together and found the same thing. The rear hose has chrome ends and Sunsong hose in the middle. The two fronts have brass/gold ends and hoses WITHOUT Sunsong on them.

As an added note of interest, the fronts hoses have a date printed on each of them of 2010. The rear has a date of 2012. I wonder if something changed around 2011?

I will run these for now but I will but inspecting the rear one on a regular basis.
