some jeep Cherokee have a running hot issue. because the lower radiator hose collapse. Chrysler started putting a spring in bottom hose to keep coolant flowing. were can I get that spring from without going to dealer. ---

Why not just get the new hose with the spring installed from the dealer and be done with it ? ---

Don’t most lower radiator hoses have a spring to prevent collapsing? ---

In the old days it was not a standard, usually a newer stiffer hose would be ok, but the internal strength member is the cat’s pajamas. ---

> [@VOLVO\_V70](#): > > Why not just get the new hose with the spring installed from the dealer and be done with it ? Exactly! One doesn’t **_insert_** a spring into the bottom radiator hose. The OP needs to buy a new bottom hose–either from the dealer or an aftermarket item from a parts store–that has the spring built into it at the time of manufacture. ---

I’ve never heard of anyone replacing the spring in a hose before. Just replace the hose with a new one. ---

I had a replacement lower hose not have a spring in it once. I took the spring out of the old hose and put it in. Never have purchased that spring by itself though ---

Many aftermarket hoses are rubbed and don’t have an inner spring. I never use rhem though. ---
