Nasty surprise when remover front bumper to fix headlights, found one side of this structural bar across front chassis completely corroded.

Does anyone know what this is called? Strruggling to find the part online without a part name!

Thanks for any help

 

That is the radiator support bar/ cross member.

Thanks Paul, found one on e-bay. Seems like a lot of these rust away from the condition of some of the ones I have seen. Maybe waxoyl the replacement before installing it?

 

It's threads like this that me glad that except for one-year in SW Texas, My X-Types have spent their entire lives in the Southern California and now Nevada.
