This is the genuine Nissan viscous fan hub, located at the front of the engine, bolted directly to the water pump. Your main cooling fan blade attaches to this hub. Its function is to control fan speed based on air temperature from the radiator. When the air is hot, the hub locks up, spinning the fan faster to pull more air through and cool the engine. When the engine is cool, it disengages, saving power and fuel.
A failed hub is a primary cause of overheating. If the internal fluid leaks out, the fan will not engage properly when needed, leading to engine overheating under load—especially while towing or driving off-road. Ignoring this can lead to serious and expensive engine damage, such as a blown head gasket or a warped cylinder head. If the hub fails by seizing, it will create a loud roaring noise and constantly drain engine power, hurting fuel economy.
