S-car j-hose House Of Hose rebuild

[Tony Hoffman]

I've used them for several cars, and I never did check for the restrictor.
However, none of my cars ever made the "whining" noise associated with not
retaining the restrictor either.

The swivel fittings on teh ends make instalation a ton easier, especially
at the rack end. I just unscrew the fitting itself and install it first,
then the rest of the hose screws onto it. Been more than happy with what
I've recieved from them over the years.

HTH,
Tony
