Radiator Support Replacement

 

What is the part that needs repair, and what does it do?

The radiator support is a large polymer frame at the front of your car that holds up the radiator, headlights, and other devices.

 

How did this part get damaged or worn on my car?  What is wrong with it?

When you drive on roads with many dips and potholes (which are unfortunately common in and around Denver), the front of your car can hit the ground, cracking its radiator support.

 

What other problems can this issue cause?

A cracked radiator support allows the parts it holds to jiggle around more than usual, which can in turn cause damage to them and further damage to the radiator support.
