The Radiator Support Panel can be found just within the forward part of your vehicle right behind the bumper and ahead of your engine. It displays a wide metal frame that differs in shape based on your specific model, and it works to keep your vehicle driving properly.
A Radiator Support Panel provides support and helps to attach different front-end car parts like your fender and hood. The biggest role your Radiator Support Panel plays is safeguarding the radiator and keeping it securely fastened to its designated location. Your cooling system, which works to protect against a failing engine, overheating, leaks, and more, can't operate without a working Radiator Support Panel in place.
So, what causes a Radiator Support Panel to become impaired? Since this car part can be found in the forward region of your Nissan, it is most often damaged in frontal incidents. The Radiator Support Panel can rust and wear over time or become warped after riding over damaging road debris or from slamming into potholes out on the highway.
But a damaged Radiator Support Panel isn’t always noticeable since it is located behind your Nissan's bumper cover. However, over time you may experience coolant leaks, overheating, and damage to your radiator. To safeguard against these potential issues, examine your Nissan's Radiator Support Panel regularly and following a car accident to keep from any surprise expenses.
Because the support panel is vital to securing your car's radiator in place and ensuring that it's functioning correctly, replace a damaged or warped Radiator Support Panel immediately to maintain car engine cooling and effective operation of your vehicle.
Are you debating on replacing your Radiator Support Panel on your own? Radiator Support Panel replacement may require specialized tools and you may need to detach your front bumper, reinforcement bar, and possible electrical parts. Because of this, we suggest leaving this installation to the experts at an authorized Nissan service location.
Because different cars use specific radiator support panels, ordering the appropriate one for your Nissan is essential to proper installation. Make sure you get the right fit when you purchase authentic OEM components at Nissan Parts.
