What Is a Radiator Lower Hose?

A radiator lower hose connects the bottom of the radiator to the engine’s water pump. Its job is to carry cooled coolant from the radiator back into the engine. Unlike the upper hose, the lower hose must withstand suction pressure, high temperatures, and constant vibration.

The Radiator Lower Hose 55038025AA is engineered specifically to handle these conditions. It maintains its shape under vacuum pressure and resists collapse, cracking, and leaks even in extreme driving environments.
