Hey Mike trust me I had the same thing on my 92, its the hose, just take a
large screwdriver and try to spread the metal clip thats around the hose
where it bolts to the strut! If it your hose, just by doing that it will
free up your wheel but will come back!

That's all new. They played with adjusting them. I don't think that's
it.
That would be my last option. More adjusting.
