Default Squeaky Fan?

Does anyone know what would cause my fan to squeak? Are there bearings on it?

They usually bind, so the fan's always turning, even at high speeds. Check your belt tensioners as well - I had one that squealed like that - and I thought it was either the AC clutch or the fan clutch. Tensioner was a lot cheaper!

Well I know its the fan because when the trucks not running and you turn the fan by hand its squeaks.
