Radiator The main cooling unit for the vehicle's engine. The radiator is almost always directly behind the front grill, and has a honeycombed appearance. The radiator is very delicate, as it is made of very thin metal for effective heat transfer, and is normally made of aluminum or brass. |
Radiator Cooling Fan The cooling fan mounted on the radiator, it circulates cooling air through the radiator's fins to facilitate more airflow and better cooling. The cooling fan can either be electric or belt driven, and sometimes incorporates a clutch mechanism. |
Radiator Shroud The protective metal or plastic covering around the radiator, it also provides a means of directing airflow around the radiator and enhancing cooling capability. |

Relay (Electrical) Magnetically operated "switches" used throughout the vehicle; relays control high-amperage devices by using low amperage (low power) controls. |
Rim The metal portion of the wheel that the tire is actually mounted onto, the rim bolts onto the hub assembly. Rims come in many styles, from the plain, steel, painted, rims to the "Spinners" which may cost several thousand dollars. |
Ring Gear and Pinion A part of the differential assembly, the pinion takes the turning force from the drive shaft, and by connecting to the ring gear, changes the turning force by 90 degrees and send it to the wheels. |
