Dayco 72168 lower radiator coolant hose for the 1998-2008 Subaru Forester and other vehicles carries coolant between the radiator and the lower pipe.
A cracked, bulging or soft hose, or coolant dripping near the lower hose, can mean it is worn. A loose clamp leaks coolant too, so these signs alone do not prove the hose is the problem.
This hose is a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2008 Subaru Forester, the 2001-2005 Ford Taurus V6 3.0L and the 2001-2005 Mercury Sable V6 3.0L. The 2001-2005 Mercury Sable V6 3.0L takes one hose, and this listing is one hose.
