Poking around under the hood, I noticed that the return heater hose is not supported. This is the hose that runs from the heater core, through the open space between the exhaust manifold and the wheel well, Under the alternator and returns to the engine block low and below the thermostat housing. There is absolutely no support for this hose anywhere along it's length. just at the ends where it's connected. This does not seem right as it can subject the hose to a lot of flopping around. is there a bracket or something that is missing here? If this is OEM, should I attempt to rig a support?
