lexus400 Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 My fan has a wobble and I can feel a little bit of play if I grab it. Should I order a new fan clutch ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussiLS400 Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 It could be the bearing for fan. They tend to go around 200,000 mile mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bicol-ini Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 could be about time, i think you can just order the clutch and use your old fan, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexus400 Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share Posted March 6, 2006 yep, I have about 175k on it. Just to confirm, the fan clutch has the new bearing correct ? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsalih Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Be carefull there are two different things here. First, the bearing that causes the play in the fan is on the fan bracket (the complete bracket assy which the clutch fan mounts to and cost almost $200). This has the bearing that wears. I recommend you remove the clutch fan assy and make sure you know where the looseness or play is coming from otherwise you'll be wasting your money buying a clutch and not solving your problem.

AussiLS400 Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I replaced the fan bracket because the bearing broke down. The fan clutch was OK. If the trouble is the clutch why not take it right off and put thermatic fans. The lexls.com site has a write up on how this is done.
