Brake Lines Rusting Away
I have a 97 GTP that has ruptured steel brake lines in 3 different places in the last 1 year. The line sections I pulled out are horribly corroded from the outside over a large fraction of their length. These lines frankly look like they came out of a 30 year old vehicle, not a 10 year old one.
Is anyone else seeing this? Mike

Re: Brake Lines Rusting Away
I have a 97.5 GTP and have no rust on any part of the undercarriage. The reason why is I am in the Southwest. Do they salt or put chemicals on the roads in your state during the winter? The further North you get the worse rust and corrosion is. I've seen some real horror stories from our folks up in Canada.
The best thing to do is get the brake lines replaced since it is a potential safety problem.

Re: Brake Lines Rusting Away
I'm not in canada and my rockers were a little rusty so I had do to alittle body work. My brake/fuel lines are ok, little rust here and there. Thats sucks sounds like its time to replumb some lines
