Radiator fan replacement
 

Anyone replaced theirs? The bearings are going out on one of mine and its making lots of noise.


Oreilly's had it for about $170, but I found this on eBAY:

Anyone had experience with these types of vendors? I assume its some cheap Chinese knock off, so I'm a little scared to buy it.

You can get the OEM motor for cheaper, you dont need the fan just use the original.

Wouldn't that be more expensive than the entire unit? Looks like the motor is over $100 and the ebay unit is $80 unless I'm missing something.

Why pay more for a motor when you can get a whole new assembly for less. I ordered the same exact one from Ebay and its very good quality. 1 year warranty. Replaced it after an accident. Looks just like the picture.

I replaced mine a few months ago. It was making an ugly vibrating noise. I picked one up at bap import auto parts for 135 with tax.

Hey bro, I am glad to hear that your fan is working for you and you had good luck on Ebay. I need to purchase a fan assembly for my 2001, and Im not sure which ebay seller to go with. What seller did you use??? If you could post me a link to the seller that you used, I'd really appreciate that. I found a ton of sellers with good feedback but I just figured I'd check with some "maxima.org'ers" to see what the general consensus was before i ordered the product. By the way I agree that purchasing an entire new assembly is better than purchasing simply a motor.
