Comparing ApplianPar Models in This Category
Our selection includes two targeted kits, each tailored to distinct vehicle lineups, helping you choose based on your make and model.
The first is a 2-piece lower radiator mounting bracket set compatible with Buick Cascada (2017-2018), Verano (2012-2015), Chevrolet Cruze (2011-2015), and Cruze Limited (2016). Perfect for compact sedans and convertibles, this kit focuses on the lower support, where stress from engine torque is highest. It's a direct replacement for worn brackets that cause sagging radiators.
The second option is a comprehensive 2-piece radiator core support mount bracket kit for Audi A4 and A4 Quattro (2009-2016), A5 and A5 Quattro (2008-2016/2017), S4 (2010-2016), S5 (2008-2017), SQ5 (2014-2017), Q5 (2009-2017), and RS5 (2011-2016). This full core support solution reinforces the entire front-end structure, ideal for Audi's premium engineering demands. It's especially valuable for Quattro models with all-wheel-drive stresses.
Choose the GM-focused kit for affordable daily drivers needing quick fixes. Opt for the Audi kit if you're dealing with higher-performance vehicles requiring robust frontal impact absorption. Both exemplify ApplianPar's commitment to precision across brands.
