Hey guy's, how close is your lower radiator hose to your sway bar. Mine is right on it. It works and all but I'm a little concerned with the fitment.

R U using the one for the 2JZ-GTE? Mine fits pretty well. If it's a non-Toyota brand, sometimes you have to "cut-to-fit", which means it's generically made to fit a few different cars and you have to trim it down some for better fitment. Good luck!

mine is very close also, dont worry too much about it. if all of a sudden you start over heating and see a big spray of water all over the place, then replace the hose and zip tie it off or somethin.

It's not a problem if the hose touches the swaybar. However, the hose should have some kind of protective cover to prevent rubbing.

If you cut the hose a little shorter, it will not touch the swaybar anymore.

cut a piece of an old hose and wrap it around your new hose
