Radiator Fan Blade Broken - HELP!

Story - Kicked up some rocks, put a hole in my radiator, and broke a fan blade off my fan.

I believe it's the LEFT SIDE fan - the highspeed fan that kicks on when engine is hot - see picture:

Here you can clearly see a fan blade missing:

QUESTION: is the LEFT SIDE fan the highspeed fan? My car vibrates roughly when that fan kicks on. Can I just replace the fan blade or do I have to replace the motor as well???????

Steve @ Tousley Ford can get you the new part the cheapest
FORDSVTPARTS 1.800.328.9552

if you put a hole in teh radiator, your gonna wanna replace that too

that vibration is probably coming from the unbalanced fan assembly spinning.

IIC, the fan blade is held on by a clip that needs a special tool to get off/put on. It'd probably be easier just replace them together.

There's gotta be a junkyard in your area with newer cars, the focus has been around for 8 years now and is super common.

PM if you don't have any luck locally, I might be able to send you one for the cost of shipping.
