Can someone help with 1998 Ford Windstar brake lines?

My husband recently bought a used '98 Ford Windstar that needs a new brake line, but we can't find any information on the diameter needed or the parts to replace them. Can anyone help us?Can someone help with 1998 Ford Windstar brake lines?When the old brake lines fails (gave up due to rust), the best thing to do is removed the old one and bring it to Auto Zone or any other Auto Parts store. Any hard to find fittings can be found through NAPA. (hard to find adapter,fittings). I have changed so many brake line in the past (lived here in Upstate New York) due to salt (winter), and bought all the new lines from Auto Zone,NAPA, Advance Auto Parts, Car Quest, etc. Depends what Auto parts store is in your area. Buying this parts from the dealer is very expensive. Junk Yard is ok but think about your down time, plus the parts you are getting. Most likely that they are rusted also... Note: Make sure that you spray WD40 before removing the old parts to avoid further damage on the good ones. Bring the old lines to any parts store and they can match the right length, and size (OD) for the line. Also, you can bend the new ones close enough to the original parts or bend it the way you want... Good luck...



Late entry note: Are you guys planning a vacation here soon? or try mail order? Another best bet is cut a little piece of that line (the end part if you could for best refferal on right fittings) measure the line for exact length and refer it to any Auto dealer abroad. I am very sure that any line works as long as the fitting (end) fits with the other end.



Btw. Lived there in Germany for 7 Years (79-85), Bremen, Bremerhaven, Fulda, Weisbaden and Meinz. and drove an American car (Buick Apollo). Had a transmission problem and was replaced there. I cannot recall where the parts came from but it was fixed and I brought my car back here, U.S. I believed that there's got to be a place where you can buy somewhere, because most of the brake lines are metric now a days. Any kind of brake lines (import cars, etc) as long as it fits. Once again, good luck...Can someone help with 1998 Ford Windstar brake lines?
Both the answers above are accurate. There's a pretty good likelihood that the brake line you need is a hydraulic hose and not the metal line itself leading to the wheel. In either case, a Ford dealership would certainly carry the part.

If the vehicle is leaking brake fluid, I strongly suggest you get it repaired immediately. Until then, I would be reluctant to drive the vehicle very far, or drive with the risk of possibly having to use your brakes in a demanding manner. If the brake pedal pumps the brake fluid onto the floor, use a tow truck.



You have a windstar. With this vehicle, you must absolutely always make sure the transmission fluid is at its proper level. Your transmission is equipped with a servo that has a plastic piston which is known to crack. The replacement part is metal. Oh well, we're only human. Not everything is always designed perfectly.Can someone help with 1998 Ford Windstar brake lines?so u didn't like my answer the first time u asked this question?? if your talking about the rubber hose u can get it at a parts store if ur talking about the metal line u can get specs from dealer.......or u can take it off wich u will have to do anyway to repair it and match it........Can someone help with 1998 Ford Windstar brake lines?
Brake line comes in diameter (1/8" is common) and fitting (metric bubble flare) and how long.The length of the new line can be joint of different lines by coupling.Can someone help with 1998 Ford Windstar brake lines?tell your husband to measure how much he needs then cut a piece off and show the parts man the size he needs.
