Re: {Chrysler 300} Lower radiator hose spring?

[Noel Hastalis <cpaviper@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Keith and Group,

When dropping my rebuilt motor in my F last year and, with it, replacing all the hoses, I explored different radiator hose sources. I was educated that springs are no longer supplied with our lower hoses. I was also told the lower hoses are strong enough to not collapse. 

Bottom line, take the spring from your old hose and push it into your replacement hose!

I haven’t removed the old one yet to see if the spring can be moved over to the new one but am wondering if that’s even necessary. In looking at online chatter, seems that the spring in the lower hose is supposed to keep the lower hose from collapsing during acceleration or under other unique circumstances?
