Radiator Fan Noise
Hi guys, I need a little help on my radiator fan.
The passenger side fan is rubbing on something. I believe its rubbing on its own shroud or the radiator itself. I can’t get in there to see what.
The radiator fan(s) are somewhat loose. You can grab the large plastic shroud and pull it about ¼ inch up and down on the passenger side. Seems fairly tight on the driver’s side.
Pull it up, the noise stops. Once it falls again, the noise is back.
How is this thing mounted? There doesn’t seem to be any bolts I can tighten to keep it in place that I can see or feel.
Car is a ’01 with a ECS supercharger.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Knowing how this thing is assembled sent me in the right direction.
No amage, but it looks like when the supercharger was rebuilt the last time, they psoitioned the hose clamp on the outlet facing the fan side. With just enough movemnet in the assembly, the fan sometimes hits the hose clamp bolt, sometimes not. I thought the fan assembly was loose. Got it fixed this weekend.
Again, thanks for the help.
