Default Steele Brake Line Install Questions

Hello all,
I have the Goodrich lines from LAPD.

1) Without any instructions can someone offer some guidance to installing the replacement retainer clips?

2)Also are there any problems with the lines touching suspension, rims or tires we should be aware of?

Thank you in advance.

they go on exactly like the old ones come off.

They should not touch the rims, suspension , etc... you they do, you will have big problems! :eek:

I installed the linger lines up front as in the pic below. I never got any codes. If you can install them and then lower your car onto some ramps, Then turn the wheel side to side then check for line clearance.

I'm curious why everyone installs the longer lines on the front when from the factory, the rears are longer???

That's the correct way to install them...if the front is too short....you will throw codes everytime you drive.
