In front of the engine is a device, made of either copper or aluminum, called the radiator. It is where the hot engine coolant is circulated and cooled. Serving as a bracket to the radiator is a metal frame called radiator support, positioned in the front section of the vehicle’s body. The radiator support panel lies behind the radiator grille, holding the radiator and connecting the mudguard skirts at their front edge. A complete radiator support assembly includes upper tie bar (radiator support upper), side support panel (radiator support RH or LH), hood latch support (radiator support center), and the lower crossmember (radiator support lower).

Ford introduced in its 1996 Taurus model, a new radiator support made of two sheet molding composite bolted together. This composite structure, simply called a “radiator support,” integrates functions of the radiator support, headlight assembly, grille panel, hood latch mounting and hood bumper support. The upper radiator support is attached to the front fenders while the lower radiator support is bolted into a front-end cooling assembly. Having this kind of radiator support is advantageous because it reduces weight and space in the engine compartment and it reduces production cost as well. Likewise, it helps in making the front end of a vehicle stiff and sturdy.

Some performance vehicles like trucks and Sport Utility Vehicles go under extreme stress. They go off-road driving and travail the harshest terrains this country has to offer. They put undue pressure on the metal frame of the truck and to the other parts. You need a tough radiator support so that you won’t get conked out on a deserted trail. The radiator is a very important aspect in the engine; don’t let it down by not maintaining and checking up on your radiator support.
