Front brake hose orientation

[Sean B]

I feel silly posting this but I’m installing new hoses while doing my big brake install. It does not look right to me as it’s hitting the shock mount area of the front axel but I believe it is right. I’m using the doorman extended hoses and my previous ones were some beat up braided so I don’t have the OEM routing to compare to. Just want to make sure orientation at banjo bolt is correct. Posted a couple pictures, thanks in advance.

I don't know about the BBK. On the OEM the hose exits the caliper to the rear for a few inches before it goes sideways toward the frame.

Perhaps you need to tilt your hose straighter down at the frame to bring the crossways section back a little?

Thanks, I unfortunately didn’t have the stock ones to compare to.

Go full droop, then turn the wheel full left and right while checking for interference.

I tried that, they don’t hit or bind, probably good, just not loving how they are near shock mount.

The hose guard is there to protect the hose.

When you have a chance that would be great.

I watched your video and saw you orientated them up, after nit liking then pointing out like the OE setup, I might try that.
