Yes, my 56 Executive has a total of four hoses. two long hoses running from pump to control valve. Two short hoses run from control valve to slave cylinder.

The problem only occurs on hard left lock when one of the short hoses strike the end plate on the starter moter.

The other hose is rubbing the torsion bar nearly all the time because i can see the paint worn off of the torsion bar. The new hoses are identicle in length to the old hoses and the old hoses also rubbed.
