Gates 04-05 Chevrolet Malibu 4-Cyl. 2.2L Lower Molded Coolant Hose

This Gates 22697 molded coolant hose is constructed from a specially formulated EPDM rubber compound, which is known for its resistance to heat and coolant degradation. It's designed to fit the lower radiator hose position on 2002-2005 Pontiac Grand Am models equipped with the 2.2L 4-cylinder engine.

Replacing a cracked or leaking coolant hose is crucial for maintaining your engine's operating temperature and preventing overheating. This hose is built to match the original equipment manufacturer's specifications, ensuring it bends and fits correctly in the tight confines of the engine bay. The molded shape means it's not a universal piece that needs to be forced into place; it's made to go right where the old one came out.

When you're replacing a coolant hose, it's a good idea to inspect other cooling system components like the thermostat and radiator cap. This Gates hose is a well-built replacement part that will help keep your engine running cool.
