My wife and I recently hit a deer and caused damage to the radiator. I went to rockauto.com and ordered a replacement but upon delivery I found that the whole radiator wasn't there. Or at least not by my understanding. The radiator in my car listed above has three pieces that all mount together to make up what I thought was collectively called the radiator. The cooling fans, the radiator, and my question is what is the name of the third part? It's an automatic transmission and I was told maybe that's what's it's for.

Hi,

That's a tough question not seeing it. If it looks like another radiator without the coolant tanks, it could be the AC condenser. See pic 1.

Also, the coolant reservoir is mounted above the radiator. See pic 2. When reviewing pic 2, see if you recognize what you are looking for.

Let me know.

Take care,

Joe

Yes, it's the A/C condenser, which makes sense because the rest of the A/C tubes mount to its side. Thank you, this makes ordering a replacement much easier.
