Is this a dealer-only part?

...No? About a million places carry rad hose. Just gotta find one that has the formed shape you're looking for, or don't use a formed one...

I guess I'll rephrase.

If I want a specific-fit, molded lower hose for my '94 GS, do I need to go see the dealer?

No, regular auto parts stores carry oem lower hoses. Usually they will have to order it. You can also use a KL 2.5 one, if it's cheaper in your area.

One more edit:

AutoZone, Oreilly, and Checker all told me it's not available to them. Rockauto.com
Does not have a listing.

To make this thread of any use at all to a future search, AutohausAZ.com lists a hose branded " OES Genuine"'

Gates and Goodyear do not make a replacement hose as far as I can tell.

CADNA 80530 crosses to a Goodyear hose number 61055 which is just a generic L shaped hose.

CADNA's site shows p/n 88672 for the MX3 lower hose but this doesn't cross to anything available down in the states. It does show to be the same hose as an '03 Kia Spectra however, and Gates/Goodyear do make a hose for that application. Thanks for the lead.
