yes but you still have to tighten it down when you install it to keep it from happening because when you shut off the motor the fan hub stops but the clutch and fan keeps spinning also a possibly is a locked fan clutch

FAN CLUTCH NUT TORQUE
48mm fan clutch nut. Tighten to 84-113 lb-ft,
pretty hard to get a torque wrench on it though. You just tighten it a much as you can pull the wrenches.

Sounds like a motor mount is bad. Fans turning and then hits the radiator while turning can actually dislodge the nut if its a little loose.
But sounds like a motor mounts bad to me...
edit add on
or the btm of the radiator is not setting in the channels or a combo effect

Thanks Darin
What about the older one? Its still with me.
Just kidding. but I have it and it stays in the garage lol
Back on topic I have never heard of this unless theres some extream vibration --- steady bearing issues or motor mounts.
Check the fan shourd to and I bet its scored where the blade was hitting.
then again I have been wrong before. But what the hey. Hope everyone has a great Friday evening and night- hot sum buck out there.
