Parking brake uses more left wheel then right.
you are "required" to adjust your parking brake every 15k or somthing like that. I just bought my car and I am adjusting it for 12 clicks down to 6-8. I got it down to 6 clicks but I noticed that the metal piece that holds both the wires to each wheel (parking brake pulls both at same time and same length) is more biased to thee left wheel. The left side of this metal piece rubs up on the ebrake itself when pulled to it's max, the right side is farther back. It is very easy to see what I am talking about, there are four bolts to take off.

Didn't know that really mattered! You doing some sort of driving with the parking brake on?
Mine holds the car still when the car is parked!

Hey, I drive with the parking brake on sometimes.... wet pavement+parking brake=good times.
Pretty hard on the brakes though.

Well, I know it is not natural, in the pictures in my manual the brake lines are the exact same. I guess it doesent matter.

I figured out with the help of an observent friend that the left line is older then the right. How much would it cost to replace the left line including labor?

u can make the adjustments but taking off the rear drums, if they are drum brakes and adjust it there that should even out what u are refering too, if you have disc brakes in the rear.. leave it how it is, as they auto adjust and its suppose to be like that..

explain to me how they "autoadjust"
you have to readjust the brake line underneath the car.
