disc brake hoses

Over the weekend went to my car and found a pool of brake fluid under rear of car. I'll cut to chase had to replace everything from the main hard line to caliper on both sides. Checked the fronts last night and found rubber ones cracked, so they must go.

My question is, the auto parts stores around me only listed 1 hose for back (right side) and now I find they list 2 different hoses for front put they are the same. I checked them side by side.

Anyone know what's with not showing a hose for drivers side rear disc.

There's a hard line there. Only 89-92 with PBR's had rubber lines on both sides.

Ok that answers that. So now I have rubber lines on both sides. Thats explains the cutup steel line on the drivers side. At some time in the cars life
someone broke steel line reflared it shorter and add a rubber hose to connect to caliper. Thanks
