    Perhaps the rubber lines have plenty of slack, but the hard lines do not.. In factory form they should have a nice "z" shape to them, with the bends starting a good inch before the fitting that screws into the caliper.. And they should be firmly secured with a c-clip.. Hard lines should not move at all.. If need be, I have all the tools to make you a custom set... But your hard lines are definitely the problem, not your flex lines or anything else in the system from what I can tell..

    Yeah it probably is the hard lines. Im trying to buy new ones and maybe if you would like we can solve the problem.

    It's definitely the hard lines bud.. You can pick them up from any local parts store for pretty cheap, but I am guessing that you will need a custom length.. Judging by you pictures, I assume that the factory ones were not long enough when you installed the spindles, and by the looks of it, you straightened them out so that they would fit.. Then with them being unsecured, it looks like when your suspension drooped, your rubber flex lines ran out of slack, thus tugging on the hard lines, fatiguing them at the fitting and eventually lead to your current failure... I could be way off, but given the evidence provided, the above stated scenario is highly likely..

    Again, it's an easy fix, and a longer set of hard lines, and securing them properly will definitely solve your current brake issues.. I have a pretty busy week with work but if you don't get it solved by Thursday, I will try to make some time to help you out..

    34yrs old and you say Old man soapbox? I am 30 and I remember that place. I guess the majority of the people on the site are in their 20's. These Cine Capri's that are around the valley are nothing like the one pictures about. That place held a whole lot more people than what new ones hold.

    I miss the old one. We would go to Ed Debevics before every movie. Who remembers that place. It was near 24th Street and Camelback. I don't remember exactly where though since I was a kid when it closed.

    Man-o-ma! Ed Debevics!!!!!!! I loved that place. When ever my hockey team traveled to phoenix for a game, we always eat there. Then when we moved to the valley, I begged my parents to eat there every week. It was on Highland, behind the parking garage in the Town and Country Center (or mall or pavillion or what ever they call it). I always got a Black cow, super larger milkshake. Home of the world's smallest sundae! I still have some buttons and hats from there. The only remaining Ed's is in Chicago, a couple of my buddies and I plan to make a trip out there just to "Eat at Ed's".

    There was an Italian place that began with a T that was just on the other side of the parking garage, began with a T. The turned it into my big fat greek resturant.

    Both those places closed after the Cine Capri was destroyed in 1998.


    I said my "old man soap box" because that is what it feels like.... "You kids don't know what it was like back in MY day!" My wife makes fun of me for it all the time. I am an Arizona native, I lived in Phoenix since 1989, a lot has changed since then, but I don't always recognize it, especially when they just change the names of mountains or things like that to make people feel warm and fuzzy. I am practicing to be a grumpy old man yelling at kids to get off my lawn or I will run them over in my Tacoma.
