DS73-8A194-AB Radiator Mounting Seat Overview
DS73-8A194-AB is the listed radiator mounting seat for 2013 FORD Mondeo. This seat positions the cooling module and helps isolate it from direct metal-to-metal contact.
Product-Specific Fitment
Use the product photographs to compare formed locating seat with support interface and body attachment geometry. Inspect the mating stud, bracket or body opening because a similar-looking fastener may have a different pitch, shoulder or locating depth.
Workshop Installation Method
Place DS73-8A194-AB against the original body points before tightening. Confirm that its bends, support faces and cable or hose clearances match the removed carrier.
Functional Check After Assembly
After fitting, check that the supported component remains stable through its normal movement and temperature range. Recheck access for later service and verify nearby hoses or wiring are not pinched.
Warehouse Identification
Store SKU FD02042-010 under DS73-8A194-AB with the FORD Mondeo application and radiator support mounting point recorded on the bin label. Keep small threaded pieces bagged separately; protect formed brackets from stacking loads that could change their geometry.
Radiator Seat and Isolator Stack
Install the mounting seat with its original rubber cushion and orientation. The cooling module should be supported without hard contact against the body bracket, and the lower locating pins must remain centred. An incorrectly stacked isolator can transmit vibration or shift fan-to-shroud clearance.
