Keep coolant moving between the radiator pipe and thermostat with the Gates Radiator Coolant Hose 22304. This is the lower hose that connects the coolant pipe to the thermostat, carrying coolant along that section of the cooling circuit. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1995-1999 Ford Contour, the 1995-1997 and 1999 Ford Mystique, the 1999 Mercury Cougar, and the 1995-1999 Mercury Mystique.

  • Position: Lower hose, routed from the pipe to the thermostat.
  • Function: Carries engine coolant along the lower cooling-system path to help maintain proper coolant circulation.
  • Direct-fit: Designed to install on the listed applications as a replacement for the original hose.

Coolant hoses harden, crack, swell, or soften with age and heat cycling. Signs this hose may need replacing include visible coolant seepage or drips at the hose, a bulging or spongy feel, cracks in the rubber, or coolant loss. If a failed lower coolant hose is the cause of a leak, this replaces it; diagnose the source before ordering.
