New brake lines

516 Views 8 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  cdmccul
So I'm seeing a lot of brake lines from 00s and up lhs. I'm guessing that anything in the second generation LH family, the brake lines will be compatible? Since I have a 99 with the 3.2, I'm assuming that brake lines from a warehouse that are for a 00 and up will work? I have ABS. Also how hard is it to replace the back ones? I've done the front right easily with a copper line

To my knowledge the brake lines should be the same on all new shape LH sedans. I could be wrong though so don’t take my thought as fact. As for replacing the rear lines, I wouldn’t be the one to ask since I have not had to do brake lines yet but if it’s your first time, I’m betting it won’t be an easy or fun process. The biggest thing I can say is make sure that no brake fluid gets on the metal, painted or unpainted. It will eat away at the metal and make it all rusty. It is not something you want to mess around with so I would have plenty of rags and brake cleaner nearby just in case. Good luck with everything!
Um... Copper? Like, refrigerator water line for the ole ice maker?

Please, use REAL brake line. With double wall flare. And proper steel fittings and unions. AND NO COMPRESSION FITTINGS.

You can buy lengths of pre-flared lines and unions at your local auto parts places, if you don't want to make proper double wall flares. Just take your time and don't kink the line as you make bends. Follow close to original, and make sure it is secured as you go along. You don't have to follow exact.

Where are you from?

So for my sanity..
I have a 01 R/T (It has traction control and ABS).
The front line section seems to have same part numbers. For the LHS / Concord. (4779749 -- drivers front, 4779748 -- passenger front)
The rear brake lines are pretty much gone from all stock. My question is this,
I see "complete sets" for the LHS. (see below). Will these (or at least the front part of these) fit my 01 R/T Trep ? I plan on showing my rep and want it as stock as possible.

1998-2004 Chrysler 300M/Lhs W/Abs W/Tc Complete Brake Line Set 12Pc, Oe Steel | eBay

Thanks,

OK, I just bought the 2 front OEM lines and will prob buy kit for the rear lines. I'll report back. worse case I'll send them back or put them on my lhs. lol.
