...in the process of removing the brackets that hold bushing for the rear sway bar on my 97sl2 (so I could lube the poly bushing to stop the maddening squeaking), I noticed the non-flexible brake line is pretty mangled and goes over and under the sway bar and actually rests on it at one spot. I'm guessing this is not good. Anyone have a ballpark cost on replacing it??? |

I'd guess shop rate for labor, and whatever the brake line is for parts. I looked at my 97 SL2 subscription to www.alldatadiy.com and there wasn't any useful information on the brake lines. No Saturn part numbers, nuthin' Did lubing the poly bushing fix the squeaking? (Radio Shack sells teflon grease - that might be useful for this.)

...update - they (my dealer) doesn't have pre-bent lines. They cut, flare, bend a piece into where ever needs replacing. I'm going to check around...

I've always bought lengths of brake line with nuts that I could bend into a reasonable facsimile of the original. They may have told you they flared the line, but I'll bet they double flare them. Here's a link that I found about how to do them. http://www.rx7turboturbo.com/robrobinette/flare_brake_line.htm Good Luck & Best Wishes, Ken "Jonnie Santos" <see_contact.gif (AT) jonniesantos (DOT) com> wrote in message news:ml4Pa.89$OP.20 (AT) fed1read04 (DOT) .. ...update - they (my dealer) doesn't have pre-bent lines.
