    Coolant hose rubbing alternator belt

    Anyone have this problem? It rubbed through a hose, I replaced that hose last week, and now it's halfway worn through again. I made sure to place the hose in the bracket and it's about an inch away when the car is cold and/or off. I don't understand how the hose could move so far over as to rub up against the alternator. Thanks. FYI it's the hose that's coming out of the radiator right over the drainage plug.

    check your motor mounts and your alternator belt length, it could be over stretched.

      Motor mounts are toasted.

            Why FML?

            Perfect time for urethane upgrade. Not like they're hard to do either.
