    its the 5th lower radiator hose i buy

    ok wtf, the first 2 hoses it was the power steering pump pulley that was cuting the hoses, then i moved the radiator to one sideabout an inch away from the pulley, but later found out that the pump was loose and that it was moving, then the third hose went, Since my steering rack is leaking i have no power steering so i decided to take the pulley out, so no more of that. Yet the hose was broken again by te alternator fan this time, what the hell, the hose seems as it wont clear the alternator, or leave around 1/8" space, which in any hard acceleration it will touch. i dont know why, is the hose that close to the alternator, please help, i dont want either my alternator to damage due to water, or my engine blow because of no water.

      You need to check your motor mounts. Your motor is shifting more than it should during braking and acceleration.

                  Yeah motor and tranny mounts.. I did it this weekend, one of my tranny mounts was in 2 pieces and the other one felt like a gumdrop, pretty dangerous really.

                      +1000 on the mounts also make sure you have the frame mounted hose clamp also.

                              Liam you nailed bro, it was the alt belt, too long, and it wasnt even tight. i got the new on and it was still slightly long, so i got a quarter of an inch shorter one, and it was perfect. but it is slightly thicker so it has to wear a little to settle good. so for now my car sounds supercharged:D:D just sounds though, motor mounts are good the engine barely moves, me and my friend tried that first by him on one side and me on the other, rocking it as hard as we could, synchronized of course.

                                  Uhhhh First time I have heard that one... LOL

                                  Put it in gear with the emergency break on then put it in reverse and see if it moves then LOL that will be a better way to check.

                                      Just one of those things.
