Re: new brake line broke

Ok..... Someone please correct me if I am wrong..... lowering your car... extends the length of the brake line needed?!?

If by meaning you should have some slack... then I believe so. Have to look to be 100%...

The action of lowering the car, would produce more slack... right? I mean... I am pretty sure the main brake line runs down the frame and splits at the rear end... on one side or another..... lowering springs, bring the frame closer to the spindles... right? If that makes sense, I can see it in my head... just don't know if I am saying it right

Right... that's my thoughts.

I never broke a brake line. I've been a mechanic since i was 16 years old. now I'm 33. Hell i even dangled brake calipers on there brake line ( a big no no) before. No leakage or issues. Thank god. i can only imagine the law suite if a like broke after i worked on a car.
