Spin Loose? Or do you mean spin slow?

spin loose... the radiator vibrate cause by the fan

Maybe the mounting of the blade is loose?:rolleyes:

Some car have fan design with an outer ring.
This ring is supposed to keep the fan blade sturdy and not flap around when spinning.This design is mostly used in dual speed fan.
if the outer ring broke it will cause uneven spin and vibration.in worst case the fan will smack the radiator with catastrophic effect.Waja 1.8 owners call this incident as 'kamikaze fan'

Check the mounting and the radiator rubber mount oso and if its ok then shake the fan blade left and right like u will do when checking the wheel to check for worn out bearing.
if u can feel there is freeplay then u will need to change the fan motor.

I had taken out the casing and loosen out the one nut holding the fan. Try to take out the fan but it stuck, so I don't dare to pull it hard scare brake the fan blade. Since the fan stuck I can feel still loose in between the motor n fan. Confirm need to change. But I don't know will it last how long.

If it already vibrating violently then i dont recommend u driving with it esp long journey.u r risking overheating and blown radiator if the fan break loose and struck the radiator.

should be easy to remove regardless of car model,only difference is space and in some case require the removal of the shroud together with the fan.cant help without seeing it.

not really violently, sometime it sound sometime it vibrate.... i tighten up all the screw just now when i take out the fan housing. (wanted to take pic but hand too dirty)

if replacing a new fan, you may want to switch to a better, more efficient fan......if your engine space and mounting points allow...

Usually modifying is tough as mounting points and space are of concern. Since the original fan already meant to do it's work, just change back original is still the best....

Like my oldie, recently fan gave way. Search chop shop also don't have, so mechanic take as close as possible model but 3rd nut cannot lock so modify a bit....

Common cars like Wira, can just change the motor only. The fan blade they use back...

Yes, agree I just done at cheras b4 I drive back to JB. Can't find the 6A12TT 4 speed fan motor so the mech realize it similar wit Nissan motor. So just took one n try. It fit perfectly. Cost me $130.
