Pics would me nice. Last I checked the lower hose was on the opposite side of the engine from the alternator. The only thing by that hose is the AC compressor, iirc. Then again, I drive an M42 so I may be wrong about that.Comment

are you replacing it with an molded oem hose ? Mine seems to have more than enough clearance.[sigpicComment

is this the car with front end damage where you pulled the rad. support out?

You could always upgrade to an 88+ radiator which eliminates this problem.
weak motor mounts are a main cause for this, when you are stopping your motor will shift forward and the pulley will then rub a hole in your hose.

Motor and transmission mounts, fucking STAT! Stop fucking around, order them today, install them NOW.
