99 SE Front Accident Cleanup time. Experienced recomendations appreciated

So the Upper Radiator Support is trashed. The Radiator, The AC Condenser which, is one with the Drier (OEM) and the Fan Assembly as well, all need replacement..

Pretty sure I'm going to use the Aftermarket Radiator on Amazon made by Kilmoto. (KLI1752)

Which AC Condensers with Driers would you recommend based on Industry recommendations and experience?

Same with the Fan Assembly? The TYC620050 option on Amazon looks to be a decent choice unless those with bad experiences tell me otherwise!

Might have to use an AFTERMARKET entire Radiator Support and cut the top pieces off and weld them on, as the bottom was already done professionally with an OEM Nissan and is perfect. I doubt the Aftermarket are as strong and last as long. BUt it seems the OEM isn't easily available, if at all and not all four pieces for sure. Open to experiences on that as well!

Thanks, all you experienced gluttons for punishment! LOL

I have replaced my entire A/C system, I used a condenser, evaporator core, and the drier from parts geek I believe. I didnt go cheap on the actual compressor, I have a denso A/C compressor new and not used. Been going strong for about 3 years so far. My fan assembly is also denso.

Thank you! That's exactly what I'm looking for... The parts that delivered SUCCESS! Denso is the OEM under the covers for many parts, for many manufacturers!

denso is great, I personally prefer OEM. When it comes to sensors and things to do with the engine, always OEM! I did have the denso compressor replaced on warranty, I must have got a bad part as the actual bearing came off and threw my belt off. New one works great tho. Hopefully it stays like that.

Keith,

I’m not certain that they make/carry all the pieces that you’re needing, but I’ve got several TYC brand parts in my heating and cooling and AC systems, including my radiator. As I recall, at least as far as the radiator goes, it’s been in use for about 7 years now.

I know how things have changed over past few years and I’m not sure, like so many other things, that TYC is the same TYC, but that may be brand you’d also like to keep on your radar.

I am pretty comfortable using TYC, especially if Customer Ratings are above average! Unfortunately, the choices for Condenser and Drier are limited to Wanton manufacturers with too many early failure rates. OUCH... I prefer Sushi.
