I noticed this metal clip thing hanging down from the passenger side rear brake line. I don't know where it came from , where it goes , or if its a problem . I never noticed it before. I'm about to go on 2 week vacation with 100 or more miles off road on sat morning so a quick answer would be appreciated .

 

It clips around the inboard U-bolt above the axle.

 

mine hangs also, its suppose to keep it from rubbing your shock... but mines been hangin for 50k miles...

Rocky

 

mine is bolted on the frame like right above that but my bracket looks different

 

I'd get that hung up quick. Mine has no hanger and I was checking things out the other night and it was starting to wear through. I taped it up really good and placed some wire loom around it and more tape. Hopefully that will hold it. My shock has a bare spot right were the line was rubbing. No slack to hang it. I may have to bungee it up to something so it doesn't rub anymore.

Were you driving on Western by Orange on Wednesday? I saw a truck that looks exactly like your avatar with a slight lift to it.

If that was you spiffy truck.

You don't need any tools. Just clip it around the u-bolt by hand.

 

I was hauling 30 bags of top soil home and when i got there i looked to see how everything was doing under the bed....That brake line was on my muffler!!!!! I like freaked out and threw the bags out of the bed fast...then come to find out that is the emergancy brake line.. it is a metel wire inside fiber under the rubber....so i just zip tied it to the axel
