Fan Shroud Misaligned?

Try to wiggle the fan blades to make sure you don't have a bad water pump or bad bearing in the fan assembly. Take the belt off to check the water pump out to see if a bearing is going out. Most of the time if the bearing goes bad, you have a coolant leak. Spin the fan to make sure you don't have a bent or loose blade. Check the plastic at the base of the fan blades since I have seen them crack to the point that the blades threaten to come out.

I wouldn't take it on a long trip with a broken engine mount, because I've had a broken mount cause the engine to rock over and hold the throttle open and that is no fun at all. But if I had to, I'd just remove the shroud rather than cut it. You need to take the fan off with the shroud then put the fan back on.
