Consumer Description

WHILE REPLACING FRONT BRAKE PADS, I NOTICED SEVERE RUST/CORROSION ON THE HARD BRAKE LINES COMING FROM THE EBCM. I CONDUCTED A THROUGH INSPECTION AND FOUND ALL THE BRAKE LINES WERE SEVERELY RUSTED/CORRODED. THE MAIN BRAKE LINE TO THE REAR WHEEL WAS OOZING BRAKE FLUID WHERE IT BENDS FROM ON TOP OF THE FRAME RAIL TOWARDS THE DIVERTING VALVE. I HAD TO REPLACE ALL THE BRAKE LINES TO PREVENT A CATASTROPHIC BRAKE FAILURE. *TR
