This is the UPPER radiator core support — the structural crossmember that spans the top of the radiator opening and supports the hood latch, grille, and headlight mounting points. If your parts catalog shows either of these numbers, this is the correct replacement. Heavy-Duty Steel Construction with Painted Finish: Made from stamped steel. Weight: 12.13 lbs. Dimensions: approximately 60.24" x 9.84" x 18.9" (full width of the front end). Common Reasons for Radiator Support Replacement: (1) Front-end collision damage — even minor fender benders can bend or crack the upper support. (2) Corrosion/rust. (3) Hood latch misalignment — bent support causes hood not to close properly. (4) Headlight alignment issues — warped support shifts headlight aim. (5) Radiator fan clearance problems. (6) Failed inspection — visible structural damage. Professional Installation Recommended (3-5 Hours): Installation typically requires: (1) Take it off front grille assembly, (2) Take it off headlight assemblies, (3) Disconnect hood latch cable, (4) Take it off upper radiator support mounting bolts, (5) Carefully take it off old support (may require cutting spot welds on some vehicles), (6) Position new support and align with fender mounting points, (7) Bolt or weld into place, (8) Reinstall headlights, grille, and hood latch, (9) Verify hood alignment and latch operation.
