I'll bet they are all the same, made by the same company in Taiwan. Just marketed by different companies in different boxes.

What is wrong with yours? I would rather rebuild an original one or look for an original one. I have seen them on different sites.

Thanks for the replies . My support is bent in 1/2" near the top of the LH fender . It appears that the LH fender was replaced at some point . I noticed the problem when I saw a gap where the top of the grille meets the headlight bezel . So I'm trying to decide if it would be better to try to straighten the bent one or replace it . Thanks Don

That is a definite possibility . I guess I could drop the bumper , header panel and grilles and go at it . Worse comes to worse I could still get a repop . Thanks Don

I believe I'm going to do the straightening method first. If it works it will save me some money . I'll try to play with it some time this weekend .I'll let you know how it turns out ' Thanks again for all the help . Don

Good move.........a repaired rust free OEM support ...is way better than an aftermarket POS.
