The Radiator Support Panel on your Nissan is located just below the surface of the front-end of your vehicle behind the bumper and ahead of your engine. The Radiator Support Panel displays a large metal frame that varies in design depending on your car's model, and it works to keep your car running properly.
A Radiator Support Panel provides support and helps to mount various forward components like your hood, fender, and headlights. However, the most crucial role your support panel plays is protecting the radiator and keeping it firmly affixed in place. Your cooling system, which helps to prevent engine failure, overheating, and more, can't operate without a properly installed, undamaged Radiator Support Panel in place.
So, how does a Radiator Support Panel become impaired? Because this component can be found in the forward region of your car, it is usually broken in frontal collisions or incidents. The Radiator Support Panel can rust and wear over time or bend after driving over damaging road debris or from hitting major potholes out on the highway.
But a damaged Radiator Support Panel can often go undetected because it's positioned behind your Nissan's bumper cover. However, over time you may experience overheating, leaking coolant, and radiator problems. To prevent these potential issues, check the condition of your Radiator Support Panel often and following a collision to prevent any unplanned fixes.
Since your radiator support panel is vital to securing your Nissan radiator in place and making sure that it's operating properly, replace a damaged or warped Radiator Support Panel as soon as possible to maintain proper engine cooling and peak Nissan performance.
Are you thinking about replacing your Nissan support panel on your own? The installation might require the use of specific tools and the removal of your bumper, radiator support bar, and potential electrical parts. Therefore, we suggest leaving this work to an expert technician at an approved Nissan service location.
Since various cars use specific Radiator Support Panel designs, ordering the correct one is crucial for proper installation. Make sure you get the correct Radiator Support Panel for your vehicle when you purchase genuine OEM parts at Nissan Parts.
