Default Electric fan problem

My entire Jeep vibrates when the electric fan is running, it seems to be running true when I look at it. The vibration stops when it goes off... Driving me nuts

???out of balance? On my 90 it couldn't be easier to remove. Just the two little screws at the top and the plug. The bottom just fits in a deal...

Oh...and in my case I need to pry the engine back because of my mounts...doubt you will have that problem...

Don't know if it is out of balance, seems to be spinning true.

Last time I had an electric fan shake there was a broken blade. I'd pull it and give it a good looking at. Bearing slop, ect.

Same thing happened to me. The fan is out of balance. If I were you i would hurry up and replace it before it blows up on you like it did me. Scared the living hell out of me when it blew. Just to be clear it vibrated for a few days before it blew.
