  Upper Tie Bar, Support Radiator

• Description:

  This genuine Ford radiator support is the upper front-end structural panel, often called the upper tie bar, for the 2020-2024 Lincoln Aviator equipped with the 3.0L gasoline V6 or the 3.0L plug-in hybrid powertrain. Cataloged by Ford as the Support - Radiator under part number L1MZ-16138-D, it is a large structural member that ties the front of the body together and provides the mounting datum for the radiator and cooling module, condenser, hood latch, front fascia and related front-end hardware. Because it establishes the alignment of the entire front end, a straight and correctly formed support is essential for proper panel gaps, hood and grille fit, headlamp aim and cooling-package position. Buyers typically need this panel after front-end collision damage that bends, buckles or tears the original support, or when corrosion or a prior poor repair has compromised its structure. Symptoms of a damaged support include misaligned hood and grille, uneven headlamp position, a radiator or condenser that no longer sits square, and difficulty getting front body panels to fit. Replacing the support with the correct Ford panel restores the factory front-end geometry so cooling components and body panels mount in their intended positions. This is a structural part and requires straight, undamaged frame rails and careful measurement during installation to align correctly; refinishing and corrosion protection should be applied per Ford body repair procedures. Supplied as a genuine Ford OEM component for correct fit and front-end integrity.
