Best place for new rear brake hoses? OE discontinued..

[RobBeck]

As title says, the OE lines are discontinued and looking for next best alternative, like maybe Gates or so (not really interested in SS lines). I believe my rear lines are collapsing and becoming defective and not allowing the caliper to release the brakes and wearing my pads quickly.

Any help appreciated for the good buys.

The OE lines were manufactured for Ford and supplied by a contracted supplier, for example Gates and/or Goodyear. The point is that you can get good quality aftermarket lines from a reliable auto parts store. There is no magic in Ford OEM brake lines. Ford did not make them. rangerj

they are Brakeware brand. ive used the same brand for years on all my vehicles without any problem. factory adjuster levers on Ford drum brakes seem to break quite often. ive never had a Brakeware piece leave me broken.

I got new hoses at Rock Auto. You get new banjo bolts too.
