Re: {Chrysler 300} Brake Line Routing

The lines look to long

That may be why they

All,

Took me a few weeks to get a free day to get back to this issue. Whilst taking off the line I damaged I noticed a different path I could take. Instead of going on the outside of the upper control arm(where it’s getting pinched) I could go behind it.

Does anyone see anything wrong with this new path.

My other option is to move the hard point.

As always your opinions are greatly appreciated. This first picture is of the passenger side that isn’t pinching (yet) and the second picture is the behind routing.

Thanks

One would hope that the Club would be big enough and confident enough to support all its members when they ask a question.

I find it irritating when members disparage another member because they happen to choose to make a modification to their cars.

Unless one is an ultra-purist and goes to the trouble of finding all NOS parts for a car, sends out all the reused parts for the “correct” plating that the factory used, sought out original material, and on and on… then all of use are in one way or another “modifying” the cars.

It is only a matter of degree to which we are modifying it.

Helping a person should be the goal of all club members not telling him/her that their choices are bad because it is not your choice.

I hope that Zach will post some photos so I can see what he is dealing with and I for one would be happy to try and help him as opposed to just be dismissive to him.

I'll second that.

Put the drums back on and your problems will be solved.

Hello All,

I am having a hard time with front brake lines.

I have replaced my front drums with discs(AAJ kit) and I keep smashing the driver side rubber line in between the spindle and the brake rotor. The calipers that I bought have the banjo bolt right in the middle of the caliper and the hoses I am using are the ones provided by AAJ. The most natural orientation is to run the line up the rotor and around the vertical part of the spindle. Because it doesn't quite fit if I go behind the spindle. Also I am not having any issues with the passenger side. Though it may just be a matter of time.

I was wondering if anyone has encountered this and what is the best way to route the lines. Would just putting a longer line fix the issue. The lines I have right now are ~18" long.

At this point I am leaning towards moving the hard mound on the frame so that I do not have to wrap the hose around the vertical part of the spindle.
