This blows my mind, how has this company not been sued?

They are mounted with a little rubber collar from the factory for a reason, so nothing is actually clamping onto the line itself.

You might not think it will be an issue, but do you really want to find out you were wrong when you're doing 85mph down 81? It's an easy fix to avoid a biiiiiiig problem.

^^This x1000. Its the most minor engineering problem ever for a part of the most important system on your car.

rherold9 Wrote:Alright. Well the one in the back is for ABS sensor not brake line so that one isn't an issue. The metal piece with the one with the brake line and I don't think that is going to much damage. I'll give it a look and make sure only zip ties are pushing on the metal part of the brake line. I agree about is it worth it. But, I just don't see it has a problem with metal on metal contact.

The ABS sensor is part of your braking system. Its very important as well.

Can you just modify that collar to either fit around the shock body or mount it to the bottom of the strut using that one bolt in the pic?

I'm not hassling you to be a dick. I just don't want to read about your tragic end on this forum especially from something so simple.
