Front end rusted...

[omegalita]

Hi

In my 98 Navigator the front bodymounting points are rusted on frame...they're gone...
Does anyone know where I can get a complete front end, which can be delivered to Switzerland?
Or are there reparation parts? Is that called "radiator support" or whats the name of that part?

Edit: Is thet the right part: http://www.andysautosport.com/linco...s/radiator_supports/sherman/sher00221320.html ?

You should probably post a picture of the affected area to determine if that's all that's needed...

How complete of a front end are you talking about? Frame bits and radiator support? I have shipped things to Switzerland before through the post office but, I believe that core support is too big. I'm sure I could find you some rust free parts here in Texas.

Sorry for my late response...

I've ordered now all the parts... Cost of the support is 130£, shipping about 500£...
I had to order also the brake calipers for the front, both sides...

I'll make some pictures this afternon.
Perhaps they would be helpull fore some people, to look after this points ...

After all that, my Gator will be fine again.
(Havo to go to the vehicle inspection. we have to do that all two years...
And they won't accept for example the Visor from the windows, also not the bugshild...)

Unfortunately this is way too common a problem. Maybe there is helpful information in this thread:
