    Fan rubbing radiator

    So about a week ago, I ended up sliding off the road and into a grass bank, where the front bottomed out and everything in the front of the car, like aux fan, ac cond.,radiator and such got bent back a little. Everything works fine, but the radiator got pushed back at the bottom enough to where the fan slightly rubs the radiator.

    So now when I turn my car on and when the engine fan spins, it makes a really loud and annoying noise. I can't figure out what to do, I was hoping to fix this by myself. I've tried pulling the radiator back forward as hard as I can but it won't budge, maybe I can just disable the fan or something for a little while. Any ideas?

    Sounds like you either broke the rad tabs and it's moving around or you bent the core support. If the rad is still solid, I'd just order the fand delete kit from Understeer and roll with it untill the next time you drive off the road
