Radiator engine mount

[poissonverte]

I looked in the Haynes manual but could not find anything...

The main bracket that runs along the front of the car where the top of the radiator, bumper top, hood latch and headlights all attach too.. Mine is bent back about 6 inches.. Yes, everything is pushed back that far.. I can see my trans cooler easily..Is that just a bracket that can be replaced or is it integrated into the body somehow.. Should I start shopping for a car?

SUV bumper > the top part of my car.

They can be pulled out and repaired or cut out and a new one welded in. Lots of work either way.

Hmm.. yeah, lots of stuff attached to it.. should be a ball... Thanks for the info

its called a core support. ive seen some new aftermarket on Ebay for less than 100.

It's pretty cheap and easy to fix something like that, especially compared to buying another car.

Run it by a few shops, searching around to get a price on fixing the support and possibly installing what else was broke in the process[something you should be able to do though].

Hmm. thanks for the info.. I guess it shouldnt be to bad then.. Funny thing that did happen was the hood flying open when I was driving home and smashing my windshield which was okay after the accident.. Ill give it a go.. thanks
