Cooling fan wobble?

[Russell]

Noticed that my cooling fan seems to wobble at idle. I can feel a slight play when I push the blades. My water pump was replaced 45,000 miles ago. Tensioners for AC belt replaced about 7,000 miles ago.

What can it typically be? I suspect water pump. However, it could be loose fan bolts.

It could be the water pump or fan bolts coming loose but more likely the fan clutch since those parts are recent. Look over the fan itself to be sure it isn't disintegrating, the plastic fans have been known to fail in dramatic ways.

replace water pump and fan clutch to be on the safe side, unlessyou can figure out exactly which has failed.

I've noticed that too however this was virtually right after my fan clutch and water pump were replaced. i always just thought it was dirt on the fan making it umbalanced.
dunno my fan hasn't exploded yet lol

on all the fan related bolts before I tear anything apart.

In a related note how do you tell if the fan coupling is good. As I understand it sort of disengages at higher rpms?

replace the fan clutch to be safe, mine has minimal play at 230k but can feel a very little bit. Not enough for my concern...yet.
