Keep the engine-driven cooling fan turning as designed with the Hayden Cooling Fan Clutch 1707, a non-thermal fan clutch built for standard or reverse rotation applications. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1978-1983 Chevrolet Malibu 3.3L / 3.8L / 4.4L / 5.0L / 5.7L, 1980-1984 Chevrolet Impala 3.8L / 4.4L / 5.0L and 1966-1971 Dodge Charger 4.5L / 6.3L.

The fan clutch sits between the engine-belt-driven hub and the cooling fan and couples the two so the fan can move air through the radiator. As a non-thermal unit, its engagement is not controlled by a temperature-sensing spring. Hayden brings over 45 years of automotive cooling experience and engineers and tests its products to take the heat. This clutch is designed, tested, and built by application.
- OE performance, fit, and appearance: Hayden lists this clutch as meeting or exceeding OEM standards.
- Precision machined: aluminum construction in a raw aluminum finish.
- Flange mounting: four mounting holes with 5/16-18 bolt thread and a 7.2 in overall diameter.
- Out-of-box installation: mounting hardware is not included. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether they may be reused.
This is a standard-duty clutch for standard and reverse rotation, and the listed applications use one. Signs a fan clutch may need replacing include fluid leaking from the clutch, wobble or play at the fan, unusual fan noise, or overheating at idle. Country of origin: Mexico.
