Default Brake hose problem


Good morning I have bought a brake hose kit (Russell performance part) from jegs.

On the box it's indicated it's for 1993 to 1997 firebird with rear disk (it's the case of mine). I have no problem with the rear hose. But the front hose are too short, and when I turn the wheels at the maximum the hose are very bended.
I have made pictures of it:







What do you think about that ? do you have an idea ?

wrong part I would say.

some one messed up packaging maybe. take a measurement of the old one and the new one and give jegs a call. should be able to help you out over the phone and send your the right parts.

On the caliper side of the hose, try unscrewing the hose, flipping it over 180 degrees, and reinstalling? There is a slight bend to the components so maybe the change in angle would fix it...

The guy is in France. Maybe an email would work better than an international long distance phone call...
