It appears that the pulley that the fan is attached to is not balanced. So I presume that the bearing has gone bad. Fan blade ends seems to hit somewhere. I need to inspect better and figure this out. great just found the link w help !! W126 300se Viscous Fan Bearing Bracket Replacement Thanks to Ivanerrol ! UPDATE 9-9-13 With the help of a very conscientious member, Arthur Dalton, I was able to do some bullet point inspections. I determined that my motor mounts were OK and now I did observe the fan pulley throw itself outward toward the radiator simultaneous to the fan clipping noise (fan extremity slap). So now I have to price out the fan bearing bracket assembly and figure out how the fan clutch is removed. I am fairly certain that the radiator does not really have to be removed. But I wonder whether the belt tensioner is going to be any good after it is loosened. I think I have read that this piece is also a carpicious itme that goes south when you don't want it to. So, yes, these pulley bearings wear out apparently. Thanks again Mr. Dalton !

On the E320 from 2000 onward they deleted the whole fan clutch and assembly, there's just one beefy electric fan attached to the shroud on the radiator...
