This part cross-references Dayco 72211 and Continental 66504 for the same application.

Common Problems This Hose Can Address

• Coolant leaks from a cracked or aged lower radiator hose

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, make, model, and lower hose position before installation. Inspect the hose necks, clamps, and nearby cooling system components for wear or corrosion before fitting the new hose. Confirm that the hose follows the original routing and that the end diameters match the connection points on the vehicle.
