Is it acceptable to buy a car with a replaced radiator support frame?
1 Answers
If the radiator support frame is connected to the vehicle body frame with screws and can be detached, then replacing the radiator support frame has minimal impact. However, if the radiator support frame is integrated with the vehicle body frame, replacing it may have some consequences. Additional information: 1. Radiator introduction: The radiator support frame is a common trouble spot in the front of a vehicle and is also the most frequently impacted area in collisions. There are three types of radiator support frame materials on the market: plastic, iron, or alloy. Structurally, they can be divided into one-piece and split types. The one-piece type is the most common form on the market, and in some regions, the radiator support frame is also referred to as a "dragon gate frame." The split type is generally divided into three sections, connected via bolts or welding points. 2. Water-cooled engines: Cars use water-cooled engines, which rely on the continuous circulation of coolant to dissipate heat. Water-cooled engines have a radiator at the front of the vehicle, which is mounted on the radiator support frame. Most vehicles have detachable radiator support frames, while some vehicles have radiator support frames that are integrated with the vehicle body frame.
