Bent oil lines....?
Okay, while installing new torsion bars, removed the passenger rocker panel and found these nice bent tubes. I'm assuming they're not supposed to be this way. How concerned should I be at this time?
What are my options here ?????

Unknowing mechanic + jacking = bent oil lines. These could of been done by an at home mechanic or even when put on a lift if the plates aren't placed correctly. That last photo looks pretty bad. None of them are most likely bad enough to cause a problem.

Two options:
1. Replace with stock or Elephant ribbed [for pleasure] oil lines at $300+ per line 2. Repair the lines by heating under pressure. I recovered mine, and several people have used the technique with great success. If you are interested, I'll dig out some pics and post a thread on how to do it.
