What This Product Does:
- Its job is to secure the fan or fan housing / duct in place, especially the rear portion of the fan or cooling shroud assembly.
- Helps prevent the fan or its components from moving, vibrating, or coming loose under engine vibration or thermal expansion.
- Ensures that the fan stays properly aligned relative to the radiator and ducting, maintaining proper airflow and clearances.
- Acts as a safety retainer so that if other fasteners loosen, this clip helps hold the fan assembly in position (to avoid interference with other parts).
Symptoms Of A Failing Or Missing Clip:
- Rattling or knocking noises from the front of the engine bay / radiator area — the fan or ducting moving slightly.
- Vibration under load or at certain RPMs — loose components may vibrate.
- Fan misalignment or contact between fan blades and housing or shroud edges.
- Unusual airflow / cooling issues if the fan shifts position and reduces effective cooling.
- Damage to adjacent components if the fan or shroud rubs on wiring, hoses, or radiator fins due to looseness.
- Prevents Fan Movement & Damage
- Protects Cooling Efficiency
- Eliminates Noises & Vibrations
- Protects Surrounding Components
