Jeep Liberty Radiator Support

In the front end of your vehicle lies the copper or aluminum cooling device that makes sure the engine does not overheat. The radiator is the cooling device that is covered and protected by the hood. Because it is a very important component, it needs to be secured in its place and the radiator support serves as its bracket.

The radiator support, sometimes called the radiator core support, can come as an assembly with several separate parts such as radiator support upper (upper tie bar), radiator support RH and LH (side support panel), radiator support center (hood latch support) and the radiator support lower (lower crossmember). It can also come as separate pieces depending on the part that you need. The radiator support connects the mudguard skirts at their front edge and is where the header panel, headlamps and fenders are mounted to.

Car manufacturers are always on a look out for ways to improve auto components not only in its size and weight and most especially any way to lower the cost of production. So in 1996, a new and better kind of radiator support was introduced which made use of two sheet molding composite that was bolted together as one structure. The functions of the radiator support, headlight assembly, grille panel, hood latch mounting and hood bumper support were integrated. The upper radiator support was attached to the front fender while the radiator support lower is bolted into the front-end cooling assembly. The new radiator support was smaller and lighter making it cheaper to develop. The reduced size allowed more space in the engine compartment.

Because it supports a lot of auto parts that are mounted to it the radiator support needs to be sturdy, tough and durable. But, you can put undue pressure and stress on it with your driving habits. Off-roading adventures and wear and tear of your daily grind can contribute to its deterioration. Because they serve as brackets to your radiator and a place to mount for several important auto components makes the radiator important. Realizing that makes you appreciate the auto component more and makes you give the care and maintenance it deserves.
