Gates 88-91 Toyota Camry V-6 2.5L Upper Molded Coolant Hose

What you get here is a Gates 21172 upper molded coolant hose. This hose is specifically shaped to fit the 1988-1991 Toyota Camry with the 2.5L V-6 engine, as well as several other vehicles. It's designed to replace the original hose, ensuring a proper connection between your engine's thermostat housing and the radiator.

Gates makes these hoses from a heat-resistant EPDM rubber compound, which is pretty standard for coolant hoses because it holds up well to the high temperatures and constant pressure found in your cooling system. The molded shape means it follows the factory routing precisely, which makes installation a lot easier than trying to bend and fit a universal hose. This helps prevent kinks or stress points that could lead to a leak down the road.

This hose is a direct replacement part, meaning it's made to install without any modifications. Just make sure you have your coolant and the necessary tools ready for the swap.
