I installed the the frankenlift on the front last night and on the passenger side the brake line is very close to getting pinched and i just wanted to make sure that this is the way that the brake line should be. Heres a picture let me know what you think [url]

If it is as close as it appears I would move it. Better safe than sorry.

You can bend the metal tubing part of the brake line where it comes out of the brake caliper. JUST BE VERY CAREFUL! Don't kink the line or break it. Check it for leaks when your done. Worst case, you have to get a new one. They're fairley inexpensive if you do have to.

I had to "adjust" one of mine last week after I RE-installed the front strut assemblies. The poly upper strut spring isolator split on both sides. They sent me two replacement rubber ones instead. Keep an eye on them too.

Hope this helps.
