Default Jacking Car . . . Bang! Fans Falling Out!!!!

So I'm jacking my car thinking I'm using a good jack point seeing as how all my tires are flat and I can't see under there. Next there I know something creeks and pops and my fans are sticking up really high. I lower it back down and now they are sagging and all loose!!!! What in the hell did I break?

So . . . what? I broke the casing they are in or something? How much are those to replace and do they come with H22 swaps? Seeing as how I'm about to order one that wouldn't be bad but I doubt it.

might have broken a radiator support or something. Id take a good look around before getting parts.

No, they dont come with an h22.

How the **** is anyone here suppose to know. You're jacking up your car. Crack. Fans sticking up.... way too vague man come on....

Sounds like you just cracked the housings. but it could be more damage.. possibly to the fan blades, could have bent the motor shaft. There's AC lines, and a raditor line right there that could have gotten hit. The front motor mount is like hlaf an ich away from the fans (at least on my 5th gen). Wire cold have been riped out. You could have bent you header pipe. Stick your head in the engine bay and look!!!

None of that stuff comes with the H22 swap but fixing it will be ten times easier if your swaping the motor out... simply because of accessability to the rear area of the radiator.

Go to the junk yard. Both the fans with the shrouds and everything couldn't cost more than 100 buck total. just a guess though.

Sorry about being so vague. I really can not get under the car and look. Looking from the engine bay everything looks perfectly fine. I'll go look and re-post. Thanks though.

After jacking the car from the side it seems I have used the bottom of my radiator as a jack point. Not good at all though I didn't bust any lines or anything. Just a radiator support I suppose.

Where did you jack the car up from?? If you do it from the front, put the jack on the tow hook.

You likely broke your lower radiator mount, maybe even your upper one... Assuming you were talking about your 2001 Accord, you can find the parts at #17 and #18 in this list: Click here

Thanks for all the replies. No, it's not my 2001 but that does give me an idea about the price, can't be too much different. Thanks.

Oh, my tires are all flat because a while back I sort of destroyed my engine on the interstate and had to pull over quick because of heavy traffic. Both left tires got tore up while pulling off the road and the front right tire just went down on it's own for some reason.

This car has been sitting in my garage for about three months now so I just started doing some weight reduction in anticipation for my H22 I'm ordering next week.

Anyways, thanks.
