Hi guys,
I recently replaced my leaf springs and while dropping the rear axle I inadverdently split the rubber sheaf on the rear brake hose. Obviously, this is a fail which my garage spotted while testing (the other is emissions but that is for a differnt topic
)
Thinking of my future lift, I've tried numerous places for the Yj 1990-95 rear brake hose option (over here in the UK) -even Jeep - still backorderd after 3weeks!!! they said it was Fiat's fault from moving the chrysler warehouse out of germany to italy, and parts are still being catalogued!
So it looks like i may have to use an XJ hose again - when looking up the parts I see there are 3 different years - 1984-89; 1990-91; 1992-2001
My XJ is a 1988 model (NOT sold in the UK)
My questions are: 1. Is the rear brake hose interchangeable between the years & why are they different?
2. If they are different , then I guess the YJ option would not be suitable for me?
Many thanks in advance
