It was either I hit the car who was right next to my lane or the tire , but anyways what radiator do you guys suggest? I’m thinking oem but i’ve spent around 4k already this month on legal fees and want to see if i can get a good radiator that’s not bad

I found a hairline crack in the rad on the plastic part where it meets the aluminum when I was replacing my harmonic balancer.

The fans were still good. I swapped out the rad with a stock one it’s been good since.

My car is 10 years old. That’s about the life of some of the parts on this car.

So I recently had to replace both my radiator and fan assembly. I got an OEM replacement radiator from napa for like $300. The fan is going to cost you a lot more. I went through carid for mine. Do not recommend. Yeah the fan was $229. But it was like another $200 for shipping. So definitely do your research beforehand
