Stupidchicken's Super Sweet Subaru Saga Thread

So had a scary thing happen Friday night as I was leaving work. I went to hit the brakes and heard a weird "pop/blurp" sound and the brake pedal went to the floor and my car didnt stop. Luckily I was not going more than 5mph and hit the e-brake and pulled over.
Front right passenger fender liner was soaked and had a steady drip off my brake lines....
Found the culprit today:
Im pretty sure that the brake line is supposed to be stationary through the bracket (below my fingers in the pic) that attach to the strut. So the brake line should not be able to be pushed/pulled through the bracket. Well after 7+ years, guess whatever holds it in place gave out. So the brake line was moving in/out of the brake line with suspension travel ultimately resulting in a tear.
Got a loaner SS line on the car right now and bled the brake system. Prolly going to just order a new front pair and replace them both at the same time.
After the brake line was fixed, moved onto a couple bushing installs.
Did the TIC rear diff bushings and whiteline plus rear trailing arm bushings as well.
Also found out that my car has a Perrin rear subframe lockdown kit with the extra bold on each side of the subframe haha
