Can anyone tell me the correct name for the fan mounted in a squirrel- cage assembly horizontally underneath the dash on the passenger side of a 99 Tacoma? When I adjust the speed of my A/C fan, the fan makes a lot of noise. I've removed it, which was quite easy, and blew a bunch of leaves and such out of it with an air compressor. If run it while I have it detached, it is quiet as long as I keep it perfectly level. If I tilt it the slightest bit, something starts rubbing and the noise is not tolerable. I'd like to replace it with a used one, but none of the used parts stores I see online list anything like this.

The squirrel cage blower "wheel" looks like a dealer item, but prying it off carefully you won't need a new one.
