Fan eats Radiator

Hey guys my fan keeps eating up radiators. I have been through 3 i have changed both motor mounts because they were both bad and i thought that was the problem but I just killed another radiator today and I'm tired of buying them, does anyone know what else I should look for to replace so this doesn't keep happening?

put a electric fan on instead of mechanical, or relocate your radiator 3/4in forward

Are you getting 3 core rads? is so you will have to relocate it forward.

Also your fan... is it a stock unit or did you swap in one from a ZJ? Those are bigger and might be causing your prob. Might be worth putting a new tranns mount in as well.
