To clarify, the fan blade assy is loose on the "axle". The assy is tight in the rad support.
It's as if the bearings(if there are any) have worn out and it's causing the fan blade assy to be loose on it's spindle. Main q is if that can be fixed, or if the fan has to be replaced.

Maybe
Try removing the assy, and there is a very small nut which holds the fan onto a shaft. Try tightening this nut and see if that fixes it. If not they are only $150 or so and DIY.

Yep, gonna try it tonight hopefully. Fan looks easy to remove...I think.
I may just leave it out if it can't be fixed, cold enough here that I won't overheat anyway.
