    brake hoses

    What is the best fix for front brake hoses being to tight when wheels turned, is there a bracket that can be made to loosen it up at full turn?
    Thanks

    When you say "too tight" do you mean that the hose restricts turning the wheel? If so, the solution is longer brake hoses.

    Although I really didn't have a problem with the front brake hoses being too tight with the wheels turned on my MKIV, I did have an issue with the rim edges rubbing on them when fully turned. I have the 17" Halibrands and a Flaming River Power steering rack that required relieved F-Panels and wanted to re-route the hoses where they wouldn't rub. I used Wilwood P/N 220-9287 and they worked awesome, they have a 90 bend and are a couple inches longer, I routed them over the upper control arm... impossible for them to rub on anything now.
