I've never heard of this happening before, but on my way home from work the brake light was on so I knew I was low on brake fluid, but I had pressure flushed and filled my brake fluid 2 weeks ago before I did a track day.

I didn't check the car out afterwards, but apparently I caused this -

The upper a-arm on the passenger side of the IRS hit the rear right brake hose hard enough to crack the fitting! I've never heard of this issue before, and I'm not sure how I'm going to permanently solve this so it doesn't happen again.

Anybody with IRS care to take a good picture showing the brake hose setup on your car for me?

I'm assuming this is on your 97? When I converted my 82 GT to IRS this is how mine looks, I autocross this car and hasn't given me any problems. Let me know if you need more [Smile]
