rob300SD,
I agree, the brake line should be rotated so it curves away from the tire.
It's a good practice to replace the flexible brake lines, for piece of mind, on any newly acquired vehicle if you don't know when they were replaced the last time.
My 300SD had complete brake service done by the prior owner shortly before I bought it.
Attached is a photo of the routing of the brake line on my front driver's side tire (215/70 R 14). Sorry it's a little dim - the cellphone flash is not very bright and I didn't have a work light with me.
