Does Replacing the Radiator Support Count as a Major Accident?
1 Answers
Replacing the radiator support counts as a major accident. If a vehicle has had its radiator support replaced, it indicates that the front bumper, front crash beam, radiator, grille, headlights, and engine hood have also been replaced. The radiator support can affect the vehicle's driving stability. Methods to identify an accident vehicle include: 1. Check if the gaps around the entire body vary significantly; 2. Inspect the paint surface for smoothness and tap panels to listen for a dull or crisp sound; 3. Test the force required to open all four doors; 4. Examine the body's welding spots for obvious signs; 5. Enter the vehicle and check the interior panels for signs of looseness.
