Detailed Description

Gates 22306 is a molded radiator coolant hose engineered for lower cooling-system use where a formed hose is required to maintain proper routing and clearance. The EPDM material is suited for coolant exposure, while the molded profile helps match the factory hose shape on supported vehicles. This part number is listed for 1997-2004 Toyota Avalon, 1998-2003 Toyota Sienna, 1997-2002 Toyota Camry, 1999-2002 Toyota Solara, and 1997-2001 Lexus ES300 in the lower position. This part cross-references Dayco 71972 and Motorad CH3050 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix
