here's the story,

my 89 corollas radiator fan motor crapped out on me a while ago. so, instead of paying about $280.00 for the whole unit from the toyota dealer(and that's at discount since i work there!), i instead bought just the motor from autozone. its a siemens(uh, huh huh huh)motor only, no fan blade or housing, for about $60.00. but, now whenever the fan comes on, it vibrates the whole car a little like it's off balance. any ideas on balancing the plastic fan blade? any other ideas? i was thinking of just putting on an aftermarket fan unit, but thats just more money...

You can pick up fans at junkyards for pretty cheap...
