Designed specifically for Mustang models from 1997 through 2004, these radiator stays replace the OEM upper radiator brackets, offering enhanced flexibility and preventing damage under hard driving conditions. The stock brackets are rigid, which can lead to cracking and leaking of performance radiators when subjected to torque and vibration.
