Will this radiator fit directly into my engine bay without modification?

Yes. This is an OEM-specification radiator with factory mounting bracket geometry — it bolts to the same points as your original unit. No custom brackets or modifications needed.

Do I need to flush the coolant system before installing this radiator?

Best practice is to flush the system and replace coolant during radiator swap. Old coolant can carry corrosion debris that damages a fresh radiator. Use the coolant type specified in your owner's manual.

Are hose clamps or connection hardware included?

The radiator assembly ships without clamps or fasteners. You'll reuse your existing hose clamps and mounting bolts from the original unit — test-fit before final tightening to confirm clamp placement and seal integrity.
