fan wobbling

i just got my HG replaced by my buddy and everything seems to be ok but it appears that my fan seems to wobble a bit when i rev the motor.

does anyone know what would be wrong? could it be just the fan itself or the fan clutch maybe?

Check to see if your fan blades are warped. It's a sure sign that the fan is about to 'go'. Mine wobbled like that ( not at the clutch) and soon exploded and took out the shroud and the battery. Quickly became a much more expensive repair. If it goes , it could also take out your radiator.

take the belts back off and see if the fan bracket has any wobble or play of any kind in it. (the part the fan bolts to, not the actuall bracket itself)

if it does your fan bracket bearing is on its way out and will soon crash and die....

assuming this is on the 3vze a wobbly fan would have nothing to do with the waterpump.
