possibly a bearing, but it's hard to tell from the symptoms you describe. How much or how little deflection do you currently have in your fan belt? If it is less than 1/4"-1/2", your belt may be too tight and causing a strain. Removing the fan belt is simple. Check to make sure you have all 6 shims on your fan shaft. If you don't have 6, you should. If you have all 6, play around with the sequence until your fan belt has the proper tension. This may solve your problem.
