Radiator Support: Description and Operation
Radiator Support Assembly
The radiator support assembly is made of a composite material (SMC) to reduce weight and simplify installation procedures. The radiator support bolts
on and is positioned by tabs which are located into holes in the front-end lower tie bar (figure 2-1). A steel reinforcement extends across the upper
portion. This reinforcement is part of the assembly or available separately (figure 2-2). It is attached to the radiator support by 14 rivets. Replacement
rivets are available as GM Part #10263118.
