Almost didn't make it home last night.
Finally got in driveway and lifted hood, Fan wobbles, Loud knocking sound, no power to engine.
Not sure it is even safe to drive to a shop.

Belt seems ok.
Fan clutch?

bearings in the fan clutch went.... as far as driving it to a garage, the only thing that u really risk if it does break, or seize is it taking out your radiator.... if your garage is close by, u should make it there, but its not a bad idea if u have AAA to get it towed.... i wouldnt drive cross state with it like that, but 5-15 miles it should stay intact..... im not recommending doing this, but in a best case senario, it should make it to the garage.
