Jolbaru_LGT Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I'm wondering if there's a fix for these sagging lines? They were originally spaced out fine, but the top one is sagging onto the bottom one. Is there a spacer bracket they make or any way to fix it? Thanks in advance...

MaasaiWarrior Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 If I remember correctly there should be a spacer bracket there 08 Spec B, insta: @08_spec_b, 10 SH Forester insta: @shfozzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolbaru_LGT Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 what is that? Part of the air conditioning? Or?.... A part number or link for a spacer would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveWaters Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Fuel lines. Have you taken off the engine cover? You’ll find they’re bracketed to the intake manifold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I have taken the cover off many times, guess I never paid attention to where they connect or what they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolbaru_LGT Posted December 6, 2020 Author Share Posted December 6, 2020 So there’s no fix, and it’s not hurting anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxkita Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 replacement of the the lines is the fix? Its rubber and holds fuel in the engine bay. Rubber doesn't last forever. That said, it's not something ppl replace much. Ask the high mileage owners? Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pleides Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Mine were fine before engine out and I believe those are still on the car at 215K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvick08GT Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Must be OCD like me... Just grab the metal line and bend it upwards a bit until it is straight like the rest. Doesnt hurt anything, just bugged the hell out of me until I "fixed" it. GL! Boxkita, he is referring to where the line attaches by the IM, I am pretty sure people lean on it while working on the car and bend it down slightly.

I did try and bend it up, I think it just weakened it. So it sagged back down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
