Hello everyone, I'm pretty new to this forum and I've got a question. A while back I hit a nasty dip in my 87 300D that I didn't know was there due to the optical illusion the road had (and the sign was covered by a tree's limb). The end result was a cracked oil pan, scraped the arm that the radiator sits on, and caused couple of nasty looking scrapes on the underside (this was the short term damage). After I got the oil pan patched up, the car wasn't acting normal when I braked. Whenever I have to brake a litlte harder than normal, I heard a scraping sound. At first I wasn't sure what it is but then found out the hard way. While performing a panic brake, I heard a "clunk" sound in the front. The "clunk" was the fan cutting into the radiator. This happened to be right outside my driveway so I limped it onto the driveway and shut it off immediately. My question is, what can cause the fan to hit the radiator? I've taken it to a independent mechanic (happens to be my friend's dad) and he says its the transmission mount. Could it be the arm that the radiator sits on? Is there a possibility that it was bent up a little? I'm a little paranoiid to drive since I would be chewing through raidators like no tomorrow every time i have to do a panic brake.
