Masuma has expanded its range of spare parts with radiator mounting bushings.
These rubber bushings provide elasticity in the mounting assembly, dampen vibrations, and protect the radiator from damage. They absorb oscillations transmitted from the engine and compensate for the thermal expansion of metal as the radiator heats up. As a result, they ensure secure radiator positioning while preventing microcracks and coolant leaks.
Why Radiator Bushings Wear Out
Like all rubber components, radiator mounting bushings age over time, losing elasticity, developing cracks, and eventually deteriorating. In addition to natural aging, they are exposed to high operating temperatures, constant vibration, and aggressive factors such as road salt, antifreeze, and other under-hood fluids.
Worn bushings can cause serious problems, including:
- Misalignment of the radiator.
- Impact of the radiator against the bodywork, leading to solder joint failure.
- Cracks in plastic end tanks.
- Coolant leaks and engine overheating.
If signs of wear are detected, the radiator mounting bushings should be replaced promptly to avoid damage to the cooling system.
Masuma Radiator Bushing Features
All Masuma radiator mount bushings are made from high-quality natural rubber (NR), offering:
- Excellent elasticity — retains geometry and damping properties across wide temperature fluctuations.
- Effective vibration isolation — efficiently absorbs engine and road-induced vibrations.
- High resistance to cracking — ensures extended service life.
- Compatibility with metal and plastic — does not promote corrosion and stays securely seated in its mount.
Masuma radiator bushings are manufactured to exact OEM specifications, guaranteeing an easy installation and perfect fit without modification.
The Masuma product range includes radiator mounting bushings for Toyota, Lexus, Nissan, Honda, Mitsubishi, Mazda, Suzuki, Audi, SEAT, Skoda, Volkswagen, Ford, Renault, Hyundai, and Kia. Use the online parts finder to check availability for your vehicle.
