Radiator Fitment Help

[KimIsAGuy]

I just bought a TYC 1998 Toyota 4Runner radiator recently. The stupid bolt holes doesn't match up. Have this happened to anyone else?

The 2 top bolt line up, but the bottom 2 doesn't line up. Here's some pictures of my problem:

Bottom Driver Side Radiator Bolt Hole

A/C Condenser Side (Passenger Side)

Is it a faulty piece? Should I exchange it? Or this is normal and I'm going to have to drill into my car to make a new hole for it...

There have been complaints of the bolt holes before.

If you can still get a refund and don't want to drill,get a Spectra radiator from Pep Boys,part #CU1998. It's regularly $136.99 but if you order online for store pickup they have a 25% discount code,so $102.74 before taxes. Mine bolted right up with no drilling,just check the mounting bolts holding the rad to the brackets since mine were loose out the box.

Return that TYC pile and get a Denso. If you look at a factory installed radiator, it will say "ND" on the top. ND stands for NipponDenso. TYC is worthless at making car parts.
