Jim Milewski Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I noticed a slight fan wobble, there is no belt wear, no heating problems, or water pump leakage - have factory AC - what is the tolerance? Thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 No tolerance. Probably a worn out thermal clutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seafoam65 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 You have to grab the fan blade with the engine shut off and wiggle in and out and determine if the water pump pulley is moving in and out or just the fan clutch. If the pulley moves, replace the water pump. If only the bladed is moving, replace the fan clutch. A loose fan clutch will wipe out a water pump bearing very quickly.
