I replaced both top and bottom hoses, they are clearly not contracting during operation as both get quite hard from the internal pressure.
The bottom hose is suction so would never have any pressure and there would never be enough pressure for the upper hose to be hard either! Cooling systems do not work like that as it is flow, not pressure, that puts the coolant through the radiator and air flowing through it does the cooling. So much pressure, it would move through the radiator too fast and never get the chance to cool. If you're getting pressure enough to make the upper hose hard, there is a severe blockage somewhere.
