As the title sais i need a radiator support. Mine has been rusty for a while and in the last couple days ive been hearing some wheird tapping noise. Finally today i had time on my hands and popped the hood and bam the radiator support is broken into 3 pieces. I havent noticed any other damage other than that but does anyone know where I can pick one up from and if it's bolted or welded on. I will look more into it this weekend when i get some time to check the beam underneath that hopefully that isnt damaged.
Another concern is my steering wheel is shaking when i accelerate only in 2nd and 3rd up to 3000rpm then it fades away. Does anyone know what can be causing this? Im thinking busted motormounts but i wanna make sure before I go and order the bushings for the mounts from Energy suspension.
Another issue my car missfires or at least it sounds like it. No SEL yet. Some imput would be appreciated since it is driving me insane.
Thanks a lot guys

 

Too bad it happened before Zack's write-up, it probably would of prevented it.

 

Your going to have to have a body shop replace it if you want it done right. I would call around for estimates.
From your description it sounds like its beyond repair can you provice some pics for acessment?

 

I have these plastic pieces under my car that are screwed in so I'm assuming these prevent water from getting at my radiator support??

 

Anybody else?

 

is this your porblem? http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....diator+support

 

Yes indeed it is. Its not that bad but the radiator moved down about an 1.5"

 

So where do you guys suggest i can pick this up from? I went to the dealer and they want 350 for the whole thing or just 150 for the beam at the bottom. What should i do?
