fan washer/bearing

[joseph p.]

hello to all.after thinking my screetching noise and loud vacum sound was the brake booster and ac compressor pulley,to find out it is the fan bearing /washer.i looked at it carefully and it was half out.sideways cock eyed,i removed it it has a rubber orange color gasket type washer,,also it must of just kissed my radiator ,because i now noticed a small leak squirt when i revved the throttle body right in front of the top of fan blades circular spin motion . also a small amount of movement from fan.i am happy i caught this issue, because i went on a 20 minute cruise.so can i fix this fan movement replacing the bearing/washer?or do i buy the whole fan assembly? p.s ., in the pic you can see the orange washer sticking out cockeyed ,it comes out all the way.

the valuable feed back here at b bodies is highly appreciated , i love this hobby.

You need to replace the fan clutch. It looks as though you have a viscous type as I see fluid on it and the fan. Get a new one and deal with the radiator.
