Detailed Description

What It Helps Address

• Cracked or aged lower radiator hose material
• Coolant leaks at the hose body or connection points
• Incorrect hose routing from a non-molded replacement
• Cooling system service on Ford Escort and Mercury Tracer models
• Fitment issues caused by mismatched end diameters or hose length

Installation Notes

Verify the hose routing, end diameters, and centerline length before installation. On 1997-2002 Ford Escort and 1997-1999 Mercury Tracer applications, a protective sleeve is required. Inspect adjoining clamps, necks, and coolant passages for wear or corrosion before installing the new hose.
