I've got my 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan in my shop since it lost half its brakes. Having rotted out brake lines in my salt-belt area is no big surprise. But - I found that several of the steel lines near where they attach to the ABS box have a section of flexible hose built in. I'm wondering what purpose it serves? Dodge wants near $100 each for each line which is rediculous. I've got four bad lines. But - I guess that is to be expected from what is now a foreign car company (Chrysler now of Italy).
I first assumed the flexible sections where there because the ABS pump-box is rubber mounted and can shake around a little. But - I later found that only half the lines going to the box have the flexible sections. The others are just hard steel.
I'm in the process of making new lines now from copper-nickel tubing and I'm wondering if I should stick in some braided rubber hoses in the middle of each line or not. I also had to run out and buy a new flaring tool to make these foreign ISO "bubble" flares.
