Radiator Support LR099687

Radiator Support LR099687 is designed for the Land Rover Range Rover Sport (2014–2017). It is manufactured using a composite of PP, EPDM-20, and glass fiber, featuring a lightweight design that ensures structural rigidity and high-temperature resistance.

Product Specifications

Material Composition

1. Material Characteristics

PP: Base resin; provides good chemical stability, corrosion resistance, ease of processing, and a lightweight foundation.

EPDM: Toughening agent; imparts impact toughness to the material, particularly in low-temperature environments.

TD20 (20% Talc): Mineral filler; enhances rigidity and heat deflection temperature while reducing molding shrinkage to ensure dimensional stability.

Glass Fiber: Reinforcement material; acts as a structural framework to improve tensile strength, flexural modulus, and load-bearing capacity.

2. Why use this for Radiator Support LR099687?

Meets structural strength requirements: The radiator support must secure components such as the radiator and condenser while withstanding vibrations and impacts during vehicle operation; the high rigidity and strength of the PP+EPDM+GF20 composite meet these demands.

Enables lightweighting: Compared to traditional metal supports, plastic components reduce weight, helping to lower fuel consumption or extend the range of electric vehicles.

Integrated design: This material allows multiple metal parts to be consolidated into a single, complex plastic module, thereby simplifying the assembly process.

How to Determine if the Radiator Support Needs Replacement After a Collision?

1. Quick self-inspection steps

Visual inspection: Open the hood and check the support for obvious bending, cracks, or fractures.

Check radiator position: Observe whether the radiator has shifted or tilted, or if there are abnormal gaps between it and the support.

Check headlight alignment: Look for uneven heights or lateral misalignment of the headlights.

Check hood latch: Ensure the hood opens and closes smoothly and the latch engages properly.

Check cooling fan: Start the engine and listen for scraping sounds or abnormal vibrations while the fan is running.

2. Situations requiring replacement

Cracks or fractures: Regardless of size, any crack compromises the support's structural integrity, rendering it unable to provide effective protection in future collisions; replacement is mandatory.

Severe bending or deformation: The support has significantly shifted from its original position, causing misalignment of the radiator, condenser, or cooling fan; factory-standard precision cannot be restored even with forced realignment.

Damaged mounting points: Bolt holes or clip slots used to secure the radiator, headlights, or hood latch are torn, deformed, or broken, preventing reliable component attachment.

Multiple points of deformation: The support has two or more deformed areas, destroying its overall geometry; it cannot be restored through localized correction.

3. Situations where repair may be considered

Minor dents without cracks: Only localized, minor denting; the overall geometry of the support remains intact and can be corrected using professional tools.

Intact mounting points: All bolt holes and clip slots are undamaged, allowing components to be securely mounted.

No impact on component alignment: Realignment allows the radiator, condenser, and fan to meet required alignment specifications.

FAQ

Q: What is the relationship between LR099687, LR043772, and LR057378?

A: These three part numbers represent different versions of the same component, reflecting a sequence of replacements.

The upgrade path is: LR043772 → LR057378 → LR099687.

LR099687 is the latest version and fully supersedes the two earlier part numbers. You should simply select LR099687 when purchasing.

Q: Can a slightly deformed Radiator Support LR099687 be repaired?

A: This bracket is made of a PP+EPDM+glass fiber composite material; if it develops cracks, fractures, or significant deformation, repair is not recommended, it must be replaced entirely.

This material lacks the malleability of metal, so repairs cannot restore the original structural integrity.

Q: What is the lead time?

A: In-stock items: Shipped within 3–5 business days after order confirmation.

Production orders: Depends on quantity and customization requirements; typically 15–30 business days.

Custom orders requiring mold development: Lead time is confirmed during the technical review stage.
