I noticed that CIP1 lists a hose for both rears (on IRS) that's officially the right-rear for a bus. I imagine that this hose is a touch longer than the proper hoses. I figure so long as this slack doesn't rub on anything, it should be fine, right? I guess when the time comes to replace, I'll measure the hoses and see what I've got going on.
