Did you inspect the shroud carefully for a crack in the sheet metal? That would be my first guess....sometimes they're hard to see.

So. Rattle in the fan shroud area. Have been fighting it. Went so far as to remove everything. Reseat the shroud and radiator. Filed down the blades a tinsie bit. The fan clears all the way around. But it still rattles! When you tap the shroud with a screw driver, it makes the same sound it does when it's running. This is what makes me believe it's the fan hitting the shroud. One of the bushings in the support bracket is a bit worn. Could this be allowing slop and shake in the motor causing it?
