I am getting ready to replace my water pump, thermostat and housing and figured I would replace both radiator hoses since they were never changed since I owned it. Now my question is I was checking the lower hose and it does not have the spring in it that I have read that comes in it from the factory. Is this spring necessary or is it ok without. I checked at a few auto parts stores around me and none of them carry the lower hose with the spring in it. If I do need one would a dealership be the only place to get it. Thanks.
