yeah i have a question about the radiator fan, uh I had just replaced a water pump on my car and about last week when i was driving it i heard some loud clanking noises, so i pulled over, popped the hood and saw that the radiator fan looks to be loose, its just the fan it wobbles back and forth and grinds up against the radiator, that is the only problem i have been having but i just don't know how to either tighten it or does it have to be bolted to the base around it im not sure, can you help me, i would appriciate it.

There are four bolts in the water pump pulley, check and make sure they are there and that they are tight.
