- Functions similar to a shock absorber for your radiator
- Can wear over time due to extreme heat, constant shock, or collisions
- Professional installation is recommended
The radiator inside your Nissan is an essential auto part. While your engine is working to keep your vehicle running smoothly, your radiator keeps your vehicle cool. This system safeguards the engine from overheating and the damage that can follow. The Radiator Insulator is just one of many supporting parts within the whole radiator.
The outside edges of your radiator likely have a Radiator Insulator on them. Each is made of a durable material so that they absorb vibrations and shocks when you run into bumps, potholes, or other on-the-road issues. A Radiator Insulator is tough enough to handle extreme under-the-hood temperatures and help to keep your Nissan radiator firmly attached to its designated location.
The Radiator Insulator can weaken out after miles and miles of wear since it's constantly shielding your radiator from vibrations while you're driving. Insulators can degrade with years of use, underhood heat from the engine, or break if the vehicle’s front end is damaged in an incident. If you hear clunking sounds when going over bumps or experience coolant leaks, you might want to inspect your radiator and potentially install a new Radiator Insulator.
Installing a new Radiator Insulator at home is possible, but it usually requires some tough navigation around your engine parts. We recommend leaving the installation of new radiator insulators to authorized technicians. If you do choose to tackle the repair on your own, ensure that your Nissan is completely turned off and has had sufficient time to cool since the radiator can become very hot when in use. Then, turn to your Nissan manual for vehicle-specific information.
Extend the service life of your radiator by replacing a worn out or missing Radiator Insulator as soon as possible. Radiator insulators can come in many different sizes, so make sure you buy one that fits your vehicle. Help your Nissan perform its best with fine-tuned OEM parts from Nissan Parts designed to fit your vehicle.
