Re: 2000 Sable rear brake line question
There are the rubber lines that go from the body to the brakes to allow the movement for the suspension. If you're replacing the metal it is a good idea to also replace the rubber. The pressure is extremely high and the rubber breaks down over time and from the constant bending. Also completely replace the brake fluid. It absorbs water moisture over time and that is a chief contributor to line rusting. Part stores have straight lines in stock of various lengths. So you can bring in your old lines and see if they have something close. They also rent benders, cutters and flare tools if you need them to make the straight ones match what came off your car. They may also be able to order exact size replacements, or you can check with the Ford dealer or check some of the online parts websites.
