Is there a right way that this hose should be installed or is this just a fluke??
These hoses were reproduced using earlier (1939) service parts. They are not accurate for 1940 - 1941 Fords with an authentic sway bar.
You will need to trim them to clear the sway bar. If I recall correctly (oh oh), it only requires about 3/4" to be removed from one end.
