Default How to Fix Electric Fan Wobble

Recently, the Electric Fan in my 87 XJ has started to make a rough sounding noise. When I took a look, I noticed that the electric fan was wobbling while spinning. The fan housing wasn't but the fan blades were.

Is there anyway to fix this other than replacing the fan? I took it off but didn't want to take too much apart without asking some advice first.

Thanks for your comments!

I'd replace it if it were me.

Bearings are gone. Agreed on getting a different fan. If cost is an issue find a good working unit at the salvage yard.
