Front-End Impact Repair: From Radiator Supports to Fenders & Suspension
What Happens Behind a Damaged Front Bumper?
A hard front impact affects multiple critical systems simultaneously:
Crushed or Misaligned Radiator Support: The core support holds your radiator, AC condenser, headlights, and hood latch assembly. If it shifts or breaks, your hood won't latch properly, and your cooling components lose their structural foundation.
Cooling System Failure: Impact often cracks the plastic tanks on the radiator or punctures the air conditioning condenser, causing immediate coolant leaks that can quickly overheat and ruin your engine.
Buckled Fenders and Body Alignment: Front-end hits fold the fenders inward, jamming front doors and throwing off hood gaps. Restoring factory panel alignment requires precise measuring and structural alignment.
Compromised Front Suspension & Steering: The hit forces the front wheels backward or sideways, bending control arms, crushing struts, snapping tie rods, and shifting the front subframe cradle.
