Default Another pic request...front rotor/caliper/brake line

Sorry to be so needy, but I need another picture for the front suspension. Id like to see a pic of the front rotor, caliper and brake line. Im putting it all back together and the routing of the brake line seems a little funny to me, like it will be in the way with the whell cranked all the way to the right (for the left side...opposite for the other side). If you can, please be sure I can tell which side I am looking at for clarity. Thanks everyone! Front suspension is almost back together! Then I can move on to steering!

Hi Vk,
Here you go ... left side from the front, and then from above.
Regards,
Alan

Wish I would have done the front suspension separately from the steering. I took them both on at the same time and it's just taking too long.

If you are going to DIY on your car, you really need to invest in an AIM for your year car. (Assembly Instruction Manual)

Thanks Alan, that explains it all!

Frankenvette, actually, they are both completely dissasembled. I just decided to not tackle the repair and reassembly of one until I finish the other. My mind just cant handle it all at once. I think it is making it easier to reassemble the suspension though!

I do have an AIM. It just wanst giving me the clear image I needed. Not sure about yours, but the diagrams in mine on not the greatest and most of the time do not really show the complete picture. A good color photo of the actual thing goes way beyond what a thousand words and a crappy sketch.
