    Return radiator hose collapse

    I have a 351C and it seems the return radiator hose collapses. Radiator is full no leaks. Heat works. There is plenty of pressure when I release the radiator cap and the hose returns to normal. Not sure if this is normal or what.

    Rear bumper washers

    Took off my rear bumper today and notice a waffle washer came off and can't remember where it went. Does it go between the bracket and bumper or between the lock washer and bumper?  See pick https://preview.ibb.co/djKELk/washer_2.jpg[/img]
