Aghh, my SS brake line ruptured!!

[BlackDragon]

That would wear through the line. So its faulty install, nothing to do with the quality of the line...

Yea. It's being warped by the bushing it's zip tied to. And the edge is obviously rubbing against it. Very dumb install method

Some people need to step away from cars. OP, was it the dealer who installed them?

Im glad you were able to stop safely. I've had a brake line rupture in one of my old trucks and it definitely made my butt pucker a little lol. It happened on the freeway on ramp when the car in front of me braked hard. I had about half a second of pressure and then nothing. It ended up being a hard line rubbing on the steering shaft and it had worn thing. I was pumping my brakes like mad trying to build pressure but the hole was too large ( E brake was disconnected). Turns out every time i pumped the brakes it was shooting brake fluid onto my header haha.

I didn't do the install. Is it not supposed to be zip tied like that?

What kit was that? Those line do not appear to mount like the OE lines.

I used the J&M SS brake line kit and it mounted just like the stock lines .

I checked mine and see no fraying after 2yrs.

I think it was Steeda but it was a long time ago - over 4 years for sure.

So I ordered the FRPP brake lines.

I don't feel like getting SS braided lines any more even if it was the install that was the problem.

Thats like saying

I dont need a forged short block anymore because the machine shop didnt line bore it correctly

 

[Wes06]

As long as the instal is correct they would be fine.
Don't let whoever installed previous lines touch them again.

I installed these as well. I was very impressed with the quality of these.

Holy fuck... I had a major brain fart. For some reason I got stuck in my head that we were talking about the clutch line. Guess that's what happens when you are trying to multi-task and drink at the same time.
