Good Luck! :)

order parts online is a bad idea. just go to a local subaru dealer and get one. so theres no hassle if it ever happens to have any defects

Liberty Subaru has the best price, $292.22, for the radiator that I could find. I ordered mine last week and it came in 2 days (NJ to OH) and was in great shape (ie no shipping damage). They also base shipping on actual costs, unlike www.subaruparts.com. Freight on the radiator cost $7.85 thought I imagine it might be a bit more if it has to go future.

Except most dealers refuse to charge less than retail or higher than retail for parts. These online stores offer substantial discounts off of retail and the service is first rate.

I'd never go to a local dealer for parts.

well my exsperiences with the subaru parts is they suck, i ordered two new headlight assebly from them. after a few month of using it, i found out that internally it was defective. i called them and they said we would have to inspect them. well i said f@@k you. since soa had a warrenty for every product it sell in parts counters. i tried one dealer here in walnut creek and i said heres my paper work i need a new one, they wanted to charge for a new head light plus inspection time so i said f@@K you. so then i went into downtown subaru in oakland. they ordered one and switched one for me. that was service. welll the point is online is a hassle when you need to exchange parts because they will just throw you around

How bad is it cracked?
 

Mine was cracked at both the top mounts about 2 or 3" on each side. I was able to epoxy it and it has been fine now for about 8 months. Cost about $6.

thanks for the replies and info. the crack is not small, on the top, fair amount of leakage. i called liberty subaru and ordered the part. hope as the result to make it to redding in the subbie:>
