ABSTRACT:
As the most important characteristic feature of the invention, in a radiator support apparatus for a vehicle, a radiator is allowed to effectively serve as a dynamic damper with respect to both a vertical flexural vibration in the back-and-forth direction of a vehicle, and a torsional vibration caused by a vibration in the widthwise direction of the vehicle. The invention relates to a radiator support apparatus for a vehicle, for mounting and supporting the lower end of a radiator on a vehicle body via mount members formed of elastic members at a plurality of support positions including two side positions in the widthwise direction of the vehicle body so as to cause the radiator to serve as a dynamic damper at the front end portion of the vehicle in a low-engine speed state, and is characterized in that the mount members located at the two side positions, in the widthwise direction of the vehicle body, of the lower end of the radiator have different spring constants.
