Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the vehicle year, make, model, and hose position before ordering. This hose is listed for lower and upper applications on specific vehicles, and some fitments note cut-to-fit use or vehicles without air conditioning. Compare the original hose shape, end diameters, and centerline length before installation. Drain the cooling system as needed, inspect adjoining necks and clamps, and confirm the hose seats fully without twisting.
