The two rubber brake lines that run under the car to the back breaks seem to hang freely. The one that leads to the driver side back break is sagging, so that from a distance you can see it from under the car. Im afraid it could catch on something. Can I pin this up under the car some way without causing problems or does it have to be taken in?

HI there,

I would say that they have been fitted incorrectly, you should be able to loosen both ends and turn them so the natural curves are uppermost, just make sure that they do not touch body or suspension parts, tighten and re bleed brakes. Here are videos to help you make your own line or replace the brake flex hose.

The process is the same in most cases.
