Rear brake hose: 600$ ???
 

Hi,

The rear flex hose (breaking system) needs to be replaced on my 2002 Liberty. My mechanic was stumped by the price: 594$. He called left and right and the only answer he got is that this part is a special order and must come from the dealer. Come on, the front braking lines cost about 25 bucks, are the rear ones made with gold or what? :confused:

Any suggestion?
Thanks.

imposible does it look like this AHH I can't seem to send a photo just e-mail me dlaplantesales@tlb.sympatico.ca and I will send you photo, I can get it for around 40$ US if its the same part, 600 $ for a rubber hose that is a joke,,,

Please let us know what happened replacing the rear brake line with a photo if possible.
I certainly hope that a reasonable replacement part was found.
Update us ...:alcoholic:

I will try I didn't see this hose first hand, and my suplyer is good sometimes is off a bit and the 500 $ difference it is well worth the time and effort I just hope I can help, But I never worked on a liberty to this date so I will keep everyone informed if anyone needs something let me know I would be very happy to help if I can

Hi guys, my mechanic says it's a total rip-off. So he'll order a hose for a 2001 Wrangler, and see how if fits. Will keep you posted on that.

Cheers.

Just for curiosity, what caused this brake hose to need replacement? I noticed you are from Quebec, the winter frozen land, was it Salt corrosion or?

Yes sir, corrosion :)

I know some have purchased brake line kits from jeepinbyal.com for their liberties. Also, search the forum on lostkjs.com for brake line replacements.

Found one for 10.82 US$ (+21 S&H) here:

But 30 minutes after I put my order, I got a phone call telling me that my order had been cancelled because this part is back-order for months! So they offered to put my name on a waiting list *sigh*

My mechanic ordered one for a 2001 Wrangler and he's pretty sure it's gonna fit. Otherwise, I'll have to try ICARL's suggestion: Jeep Liberty KJ Products, Specializing in upper control arms for Jeep Libertys
