Hi, I've got a question regarding my 1999 4.0 SOHC RHD Explorer. The front right hand side brake flexible tube failed on my explorer a few months back, I got a replacement from Amazon which was apparently correct for my vehicle, but I found the angle of the rigid tube out of the banjo joint was at the wrong angle such that it fouled on the suspension at full lock right and strained the hose at full lock left. I've since tried Dorman and Raybestos hoses and they all have the wrong angle, is there anything special about RHD versions ?
Here is the original hose that fitted;
Here is the Dorman replacement;
Notice almost 90 degree bend of rigid tube from banjo joint, this is the problem.
Any ideas, already tried the UK forum without success.
