So last time I had the Rabbit running the radiator fan started wobbling all around. Taking the shroud and fan off the motor is worn out you can move the blade all over. After looking at prices, I can get a universal cooling fan for about the same price as replacing the bad motor, the main difference appears that the universal one is slimmer and would give more room under the hood. Does anyone have any experience with the universal fans, either good or bad?
Thanks

Well that is one way, or get thee to a wrecking yard and get one off a golf, passant, or whatever, just be sure that you take the plug off the motor as that is what I do.

Yeah, that is the bad part, the "Pick N Pull" here has raised prices where a motor from them is about the same price as a new universal one. They are almost the same price as new parts on alot of items. Crazy
