Corroded brake hose mount 90k on 2012 - new strut needed?

[IronMike]

Seems absurd, all my Volvo’s from many years prior and double the mileage didn’t have this happen. Common?
Struts otherwise fine would be shame to replace. Anyone deal with this?

Very common on many makes as that seems to be the way those things are now attached. I use hose camp to attach and hold it to strut. The brake hose might get somewhere it doesn't belong and the wheel speed sensor has to have routing with no sharp bends.

As above, looks indeed a quality worm clamp should take care of it, even two just to be sure - the ones from Volvo (plenty at the junkyards) not the 'flat' ones from the hardware store.

If not clamp, I'm not sure I would try a weld on the strut, it may warp the metal and ruin it. Perhaps a JbWeld after cleaning around nicely.

As for the quality, 2012 up got quite a few cuts and used lower metal grade at suspension, but this looks like some engineering mishap, not something serious (unless the hose gets into the wheel). Actually I would call Volvo see if they think it's a safety issue, they may offer a free fix. And of course, the other wheel also needs attention.

Thanks guys!
