helo all replaced my radiator today in my 2000 maxima stick pulled the fans forward and took it out while doing this two plastic rectangle things one has an L on it and the other an R they have slide grooves at the bottom anyone know where these go back to did not notice them initially

 

where abouts from the front of the car did the fall from?

 

they fell from the bottom somewhere by the bottom of the radiator and bottom of electric fans look like some mechanism to either hold the bottom of the fan steady or bottom of the radiator steady any ideas

 

yah i just took a look..on the bottom of the radiator, if u look through the groove under the grill, you can see 2 small plastic or rubber mounts which the radiator sits on..my guess is that they prevent damage to the radiator due to vibration or things of that sort.

 

Punctuation really helps......you might want to try using it.

 

and a picture.....

 

Does anybody else see the irony in that statement?

Seriously..........


People who live in glass houses should not throw stones.

 

actually what they were were type of mounts that popped onto the side of the fan on the left and right side. what they do is help funnel the air to the engine act like a shroud . thanks to those few who were actually helpful and who did not critisize

 

At least you know where one statement stops, and the next begins. And several periods is commonly used to denote a pause. I wasnt talking about him using incorrect punctuation, i was talking about not using any at all. Therefore, I do not live in a glass house.

If they are thin strips of plastic they are air deflectors. They slip on the sides of the radiator and fill the gap between the rad and condenser.
