Radiator Hose: Testing and Inspection

Inspect the condition of all hoses and clamps. Hoses should be flexible and show no signs of bulging. Inspect hoses for cracks, cuts, kinks and areas of possible leaks. Check the alignment of the hoses using the reference marks for proper orientation of hoses. Inspect the brackets, supports, ties and clamps. Replace or adjust as needed.
