Q: Radiator fan cover???

asked by on August 08, 2016

My mechanic told me the reason behind my G35 sounding like 98 Blazer was because the Radiator Fan Cover was damaged. No where can I find a part with the name Radiator Fan cover all I find is Radiator shroud(Upper and Lower). Are they the same thing as a radiator fan cover?? Because I'd like my car to sound beautiful again and silent.

My car has 172000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
