  Upper Bracket Packing – Subaru (45167AL02A)

  The Upper Bracket Packing – Subaru (45167AL02A) is a Genuine OEM sealing gasket engineered by Subaru to the exact factory specifications. This precision-made bracket packing is intended to cushion and seal the upper mounting point of the radiator assembly, preventing vibration transfer, coolant leaks, and misalignment under normal and high-stress conditions.

  Designed to fit exactly on designated Subaru models such as the Forester, Impreza, Crosstrek, Outback, and Legacy, the 45167AL02A matches the original bracket mounting interface without modification. The material is typically a molded elastomer or rubberized resin engineered to resist engine heat, coolant exposure, and long-term compression fade—ensuring consistent sealing and alignment over time.

  Both professional technicians and DIY mechanics will value this OEM part for its plug-and-play installation. It installs quickly between the upper radiator bracket and chassis anchor using factory fasteners, without trimming or adaptation. The packing helps absorb engine vibration and thermal expansion, preserving correct radiator positioning and reducing stress on mounting hardware.

  • Genuine OEM Subaru packing ensures precise fit and factory-specified sealing

  • Heat- and coolant-resistant material maintains integrity under thermal cycling

  • Plug‑and‑play installation with no trimming or custom fitting required

  • Cushions vibrations and stabilizes radiator bracket positioning

  • Ideal for professional repair shops and home‑garage DIY maintenance

  • Helps prevent coolant leaks and minimizes hardware stress over long-term use

  Maintaining the correct sealing and positioning of radiator components is essential for reliable engine cooling. Installing the Upper Bracket Packing – Subaru (45167AL02A) helps preserve the original geometry and forces defined by Subaru’s engineering, promoting consistent coolant paths and minimizing premature wear or loosening due to vibration. Over time, inferior or worn packings can lead to bracket misalignment, fluid seepage, or mounting fatigue.

  Whether servicing multiple vehicles or working on your own, using the OEM 45167AL02A ensures compatibility, durability, and years of dependable function. It may seem like a small component, but its role is critical in maintaining the alignment, stability, and longevity of the cooling system—and ultimately, engine performance.
