Product Details

This Dayco Curved Radiator Hose line focuses on replacement hoses shaped for specific cooling-system paths, helping maintain proper coolant flow where a formed hose is required. Part number 70943 is listed for 1993-1996 Nissan Altima and 1998-2001 Nissan Altima in the lower thermostat-to-pipe position. This part cross-references Gates 20661 and NAPA 7446 for the same application.

For buyers searching for a Nissan Altima lower radiator hose, thermostat to pipe hose, or Dayco 70943 replacement hose, this part matches the listed fitment and hose dimensions. It is also a practical search match for curved radiator hose replacement on Nissan Altima cooling systems.

Common Issues This Hose Can Address

  • Cracked or split lower radiator hose
  • Coolant leaks at the thermostat-to-pipe connection
  • Softening or swelling from age and heat cycling
  • Restricted coolant transfer caused by a deteriorated hose
  • Maintenance replacement on aging Nissan Altima cooling systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the hose routing, end diameters, and lower thermostat-to-pipe position before installation. Inspect the mating pipe, thermostat housing, and clamps for wear or corrosion, and replace any damaged sealing surfaces before fitting the new hose. Confirm the hose follows the original curved path without twisting so coolant flow and clearance remain correct.

Quality Assurance

Dayco manufactures this hose to SAE J20R4 Class D-1 and SAE J1684 Type EC specifications, supporting consistent material and dimensional requirements for cooling-system service. EPDM construction is selected for radiator hose use in engine coolant environments.
