Changed the inner tie rod and my brake line bracket?? Is it broken off and hanging and rubbing on the tire? Can I zip tie it out of the way until I can get another bracket.

Hi,

If you have a brake hose rubbing the tire, certainly secure it with something like a zip tie. Just make sure there is nothing that will hit it and don't overtighten the zip tie. You don't want to restrict fluid flow.

If possible, could you take a pic of what is hanging and upload it for me to see? I just want to make sure it isn't something different.

Take care,

Joe
