Dongfeng Lamari (T5) Radiator Bracket – Part No.: SX5F-8400110B

Let’s keep it simple—this isn’t just a “metal frame” in your Dongfeng Lamari (T5)’s engine bay. It’s the core support and protection component for the vehicle’s radiator: a durable, rigid part made of high-strength steel or reinforced engineering plastic (tough enough to handle engine vibrations and minor impacts), with pre-drilled mounting holes and built-in alignment guides. Mounted in the Lamari (T5)’s engine compartment—securing the radiator to the front chassis—it holds the radiator in place and keeps it aligned with other cooling system parts (like the cooling fan and water hoses). Think of it as the “radiator’s ‘stable base’”: without it, the radiator would shake loose, leak coolant, or misalign with the fan—causing the engine to overheat in minutes.

This radiator bracket is exclusive to Dongfeng Lamari (T5)—always check your vehicle’s VIN to confirm fitment! It’s tailored to the Lamari (T5)’s specs: its size and shape match the radiator’s dimensions exactly (no gaps that let the radiator shift), its mounting holes align with the chassis and radiator lugs (no drilling needed), and its strength handles the radiator’s weight (plus the force of driving over bumps). Grab a generic bracket or one for other models? You’ll run into trouble: wrong size (can’t hold the radiator), misaligned holes (ruins chassis threads), or weak material (bends under vibration—damages the radiator).

1. Core Jobs: Secure the Radiator, Maintain Cooling Alignment & Protect Components

As a make-or-break part for the Lamari (T5)’s engine cooling system, it does three key jobs to keep the engine from overheating:

Hold the radiator firmly in place: The radiator is filled with coolant and weighs several kilograms—this bracket locks it to the chassis, so it doesn’t bounce or shift when driving over rough roads. Even at high speeds or over potholes, the radiator stays stable (no loose connections that cause coolant leaks).

Keep the radiator aligned with cooling parts: For the cooling system to work, the radiator must line up perfectly with the cooling fan (to pull air through the radiator) and water hoses (to circulate coolant). The bracket’s precision alignment guides ensure this—misalignment would block airflow or kink hoses, leading to engine overheating.

Shield the radiator from minor impacts: If you hit a small debris (like a rock) or bump a curb gently, the bracket absorbs some of the force—preventing the radiator from bending or cracking. It also keeps other engine parts (like the alternator) from rubbing against the radiator.

This SX5F-8400110B radiator bracket only fits Dongfeng Lamari (T5)—wrong fit means cooling system failure:

Fits These: All Dongfeng Lamari (T5) variants (matches the radiator size, chassis mounting points, and cooling system layout—confirm with VIN).

Won’t Fit These:

Other Dongfeng models: Like Dongfeng AX7, Yixuan, or Forthing T5 EVO—different radiator dimensions, chassis designs, and mounting hole positions (can’t hold the radiator).

Non-Dongfeng vehicles: Even if similar in look, their radiator sizes and chassis specs differ (no functional fit; may damage the radiator or chassis).

Lamari (T5) with modified cooling systems: Aftermarket larger radiators or fan kits change the radiator’s size/weight—original bracket can’t support it (bends or breaks).

Installation & Upkeep (Pros Recommended—Cooling Safety Is Key!)

Installation: Must Be Done by Certified Technicians

Replacing this bracket involves handling the radiator (filled with coolant)—professional work avoids leaks or damage:

Prep: Techs drain the Lamari (T5)’s coolant (to avoid spills), disconnect the cooling fan and water hoses from the radiator, then unbolt the old bracket from the chassis.

Remove old bracket: They lift the radiator slightly, slide out the old bracket, then clean the chassis mounting area (wipe off dirt or rust).

Install new bracket: They place SX5F-8400110B on the chassis, align its holes with the chassis bolts, tighten the bolts to Dongfeng’s exact torque specs (too tight bends the bracket; too loose lets the radiator shift), then lower the radiator onto the bracket and secure it.

Test: They reconnect the fan, hoses, and refill with Dongfeng-approved coolant, start the engine, and check for leaks (around the bracket and hoses) and normal temperature (no overheating).

Maintenance: Easy Checks to Avoid Cooling Issues

Inspect every 60,000km: During routine service, ask techs to check the bracket—look for bending, rust (if steel), or cracked plastic (if plastic). Replace it immediately if damaged (weak brackets risk radiator damage).

Tighten bolts annually: Over time, vibrations can loosen the bracket’s bolts—have techs check and retighten them (prevents the radiator from shifting).

Check after front impacts: Even minor front bumps (like hitting a parking curb) can bend the bracket—have it inspected to avoid hidden damage (leads to overheating later).

Clean regularly: Wipe the bracket with a damp cloth during engine bay cleaning—remove dirt or oil that can speed up rust (for steel brackets) or plastic degradation.

Quick Recap: Dongfeng Lamari (T5) Radiator Bracket (SX5F-8400110B)

Heads up—this bracket only fits Dongfeng Lamari (T5)! Make sure to check your car’s VIN first to confirm it’s the right one. It’s made of strong steel or tough reinforced plastic, with pre-drilled holes and little guides to help line it up. You’ll find it in the engine bay, holding the radiator tight to the front part of the car’s frame.

Here’s what it actually does:

Keeps the radiator locked in place so it doesn’t shift around or leak coolant when you drive over bumpy roads.
Makes sure the radiator lines up perfectly with the cooling fan and hoses—if it’s off, the engine might overheat.
Takes the hit from small stuff (like rocks) or gentle curb bumps, so the radiator doesn’t bend or crack. It also keeps other engine parts (like the alternator) from rubbing against the radiator.

Who it works for (and who it doesn’t):

It fits every version of the Dongfeng Lamari (T5), but forget about using it on other Dongfeng cars (like the AX7). It won’t work for non-Dongfeng vehicles either. And if your Lamari (T5) has a modified cooling system (like a bigger aftermarket radiator), this bracket can’t handle it.
