Description - Hose Clamps

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Stratus and 2005 Chrysler Sebring. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The cooling system uses constant tension spring type hose clamps. If a spring type clamp replacement is necessary, replace with the original Mopar® equipment spring type clamp.

Vehicles equipped with a 2.7L engine, use unique "Low Profile" type constant tension hose clamps at the coolant outlet connector hoses.

CAUTION: A number or letter is stamped into the tongue of constant tension clamps. If replacement is necessary, use only an original equipment clamp with matching number or letter. See Fig 1 or Fig 2.
