Stainless Steel Braided Brake Hose

Post by shmoky »

I've installed the Stainless Steel Braided Brake Hose Kit from AR and they look great. BUT on the front lines they kink real bad no matter how I lined them up. The metal on the banjo end is about a 1/2 inch longer and when the wheel is turned all the way it binds/kinks bad enuf that the plastic wrap is cracked after only 1 turn. This can't be normal can it? Is there a solution to this problem? Please help.

Talked to A/R. They said when the suspension is 'hanging' which is when I checked and it kinked was the problem. He says put wheels back on ground and there won't be a problem. He was correct.
