    - BROWNSVILLE, OR

    MILEAGE IS 113,086. HAVE ABS. BRAKE LINES TO BOTH REAR WHEEL HAVE RUBBED AGAINST MOVING PART OF SHOCK ABSORBERS. THE RUBBER COVERING OF BRAKE LINES IS WORN OFF COMPLETELY AND PART OF METAL IS WORN. FORD DOUBLE INSULATED THE BRAKE LINES SO IT IS CLEAR THEY KNOW THE LINES WERE RUBBING AGAINS THE SHOCK ABSORBERS. IF THESE LINES WERE TO WEAR THROUGH AND FLUID SPRAYED OUT, I DREAD TO THINK WHAT WOULD HAPPEN. TO REPEAT: REAR BRAKE LINES ARE RUBBING AGAINS PART OF SHOCK ABSORBERS, THUS WEARING AWAY ALL THE INSULATION ON LINE.*AK
