Default Hose in hose radiator hose?

Hey

Was cleaning out my radiator for brown sludge and when I squized the hose I noticed that there in another hose in it aswell

Not sure if it a hose or what it is, I didnt take it apart to inspect it.

Its on both top and bottom hose

the bottom hose usually has a spring inside it to stop it from collapsing. Your top hose may have the same thing in it but does not need one. The bottom hose does need the spring however.

The top one shouldn't have a spring in it. The bottom one has it in there to keep the hose from collapsing under pressure.
