replacing the front fans

I need to replace my radiator that cracked on top and one of the fans sounds like it is wobbling and rubbing against the radiator. Should i replace the whole shroud with fan motors or just that fan side with the motor? any recommendations ?

I would replace the total assembly. I replaced the total assembly with one from Auto Zone 3 years ago and both fans are still going strong. The fan assembly was around $270.00 I installed the assembly myself and it wasn't too difficult of a job. Keep in mind you have to remove the top radiator hose and some fluid may leak out when disconnecting that hose. Good luck - Jared

Just get the fan unless the assembly is damaged. The fans alone are way cheaper. I replaced both of the fans on my wifes car last year with no problems. I think the fans were around $60 each and they're the only part of the assembly that wears out.

thanks
as ana side really should make it another thread. I am getting a p0140 on my o2 every once in a awhile. It doesnt seem like the sensor is bad since i have monitored it just everyonce in a while it gets no activity. i changed it already twice. i think something is leaking onto the connector. Would it be power steering fluid ? (The high pressure power steering hose is new and isnt leaking.)
