Recently in car accident.
Front bumper got crushed, pushed the hood up and cracked it.
I bought a new bumper and new hood, went to swap, then realized that this metal thing was pushed 6 or so inches back towards then engine, making it impossible for me to get the bumper on or close the hood.

I am unsure of what this part is called.

What's it's name? What does it cost to replace? Where can i get a replacement? Is it a simple bolt on swap or will it require bodyshop work?



thanks in advance.

 

its a core support or a radiator support..

 

if you don't know how to weld then i'd suggest you going to the shop to get it done.

if the impact pushed your rad. support back that far... you should also inspect the frame itself for any damamge.

 

frames fine, it was the back of a truck, the toe hitch pushed form the emblem up back, basically it bent around the frame... car runs fine just leaking coolant... but can't really dive into it until i can take off my hood and bumper and inspect it, but i need it to get around currently.

 

To lower labor costs, remove all the stuff yourself. To remove the core support, you'll just need to find and drill two welds. Shouldn't be too hard even for a beginner.
