Radiator fan rattling

Darkslide · Jul 30, 2015

I noticed a strange rattling noise coming from my engine bay, and noticed that the radiator fan was wobbling around. After shutting the car off, I checked the radiator fan and it seems very loose, easy to press towards or away from the radiator. Is this the way everyone's radiator fan is? Has anyone else noticed this rattling noise?

I just went out and checked and mine has an electric fan.
So no help there LOL!

What year and eng do you have?

The fan has two I believe bolts that hold it in. Yours may be loose. They are on the right and left and you can see them. Check to see that they are tight.

I just went and looked again. The body of the fan (the rectangular part that is bolted in) is pretty firm in position. It's just the fan blades that seem really loose within the mounted fan body. It was really hot earlier today so the fan was just constantly running when I got home. And I got out of the car with the engine running, so that's why I noticed the sound. When I started it up just now the engine had cooled off, so the fan wasn't running. Maybe I've never noticed it before because the fan is usually stopped when I am outside of the car.

P.S. I have a 2015 Scat Pack.
