I'm going to check for that, as well. After I started seeing the guys here suggest the brake hose, I did a little more looking into it and found that what you said in regards to the steel mounting bracket causing the issue to be easily confused/misdiagnosed as a collapsed line. Either way, new parts are going on shortly so I'll be able to cross another thing off the list and hopefully be done with this problem!
