I ran over a group of trees that dislodged the radiator. I need to understand how to tighten it down. It seems to be damaged at the bottom, but it hasn't overheated.

Hi,

The lower portion of the radiator sits on the lower radiator support. There is a rubber mount on each side. Additionally, there is a support bracket that holds it in place. See pic 1 below. Make sure it is tight and not damaged. Also, inspect the lower radiator support that sits under the radiator and is welded on each side of the body of the vehicle.

At the top, there is a radiator support bracket on each side of the radiator. See pic 2. Confirm they are tight and not damaged.

Let me know what you find. If you can upload a few pics of what you see, it may help me.

Take care,

Joe
