Mishimoto 97-04 Ford Mustang Aluminum Radiator Stay Set – Prevents Radiator Cracking and Ensures Flexibility

Description

The Mishimoto 97-04 Ford Mustang Aluminum Radiator Stay Set is an essential upgrade for Mustang owners seeking to enhance radiator durability and performance. Designed specifically for models from 1997 to 2004, these radiator stays replace the OEM upper brackets with a lightweight aluminum construction that offers increased flexibility. The innovative design incorporates softer rubber bushings, allowing the brackets to bend and move in harmony with the vehicle’s unibody during hard driving conditions, reducing stress on the radiator and preventing cracks or leaks. This is especially important when installing aftermarket radiators, as rigid OEM brackets may cause damage under high torque or aggressive driving scenarios.
Constructed from thin gauge aluminum, these stays are engineered to absorb and distribute forces more evenly, protecting both OEM and aftermarket radiators. The set includes two radiator stays, making installation straightforward and ensuring a reliable fit for a wide range of 1997-2004 Ford Mustang models, including GT, Bullitt, Mach I, SVT Cobra, and Cobra R variants equipped with various V8 engines. These stays are made in the USA, reflecting quality craftsmanship and durability. Whether you’re upgrading your cooling system or seeking to prevent costly radiator damage, Mishimoto’s radiator stays provide a superior solution that enhances the longevity and performance of your Mustang’s cooling components.
Incorporating these stays into your vehicle offers peace of mind during spirited driving and track days, where radiator integrity is most critical. Their design not only helps prevent cracking but also ensures that your radiator moves naturally with the vehicle’s chassis, reducing stress on welds and joints. Durable and easy to install, the Mishimoto Aluminum Radiator Stay Set is an investment in your Mustang’s cooling system that combines performance, protection, and reliability.
