    Just poking around under the truck looking for stuff to grease/film. Brake line junction caught my eye. seems a little crooked on the right side. Probably been that way for a while...

    It's fine hard lines get bent sometimes. As long as it isn't kinked you're good.

    Same. It ain't leaking, it's fine.

    Good on you getting under your truck to look things over.

    As long as its not leaking and the brakes are working as they should, then just leave it alone.

    Otherwise, you could straighten it up at your own peril by kinking the line causing a leak and therefore a total brake bleed.

    I know others say Leave it alone and that I would do if you are not prepared to replace the line and more because sometimes things just don't come apart the way they should so with that said if you decide to touch do not plan on just reaching in and pushing it even that should not be done anyways. I personally would just spray a good thread pentratrating oil on all of the fittings find a good source for all 3 lines and the "T" fitting and leave it be. I do that because I know it is going to bug me right up to the day I replace it.....:oops:
