I flipped my e-disco today, but it's really tight against the (refrigerant?) line. I could move it a half inch either way and it would clear everything, but the rubber hanger holds it tight into this line. I pushed the line back and bent it slightly, but was worried I'd kink it.
Anyone else have this issue? I'm worried over time it will cause an issue.

Mine looks different. My e disco is right up into the plastic radiator shroud. I had to cut out a big notch in the shroud. What year is your Jeep? Strange, it seems to be sitting differently than mine...

another guy on another forum is having the same issue....they must have got rid of the plastic shroud that most of us have and moved the power steering fluid return line up a bit. You should be fine with the line bent out of the way. I would add a section of rubber sleeve around the line at that area of contact so you don't get any vibrations or wear. Or do like I did and cut that section of line out and add an in line cooler in that location.

Thanks for the help, Jeeper. Knowing it wasn't a refrigerant line or anything I was a little less scared to grab ahold and bend that tubing. I have about 1/4" clearance now and no damaged power steering lines.
