Why are the lower coolant hoses so durable?
Note that because lower coolant hoses are exposed to heavy amounts of suction from the engine’s water pump, a resilient spring is wound around the inside of them to ensure the hose does not collapse and block the flow of coolant. Like most components of modern hoses, these springs are quite durable over the long term.
Where can I buy a custom radiator hose?
