Hi guys,
I own a 1995 bronco with what i think might be a bad/bent fan. I do have the severe duty clutch on my truck and i know that it requires 2-1/2" of pitch to engage and disengage. My question is do any of you guys notice alot of back and forth rotary movement from your fan while its turning but no play in it at all. If it helps I have the super cooling package with the larger radiator, A/C, and a 302. From what the book says it should be normal what it is doing, but it looks strange. any info would be great guys.

 

In truth, if there is a blade or two that is bent but it does not adversely affect the operation of the fan clutch or kill waterpump bearings you are ok. The balance of the fan is unique anyway since the blades are not on congruent angles around the diameter of the fan.
