Another question fellas. I recently got my car back from the body shop after a nasty hydroplanning incident (see pics), and I was checking out the engine compartment and noticed a good amount of give in the radiator....My question, is this normal?


Thanks again!

From hydroplanning? That's not good.... The radiator is going to have a little bit of give/play to it since it is "held" pretty loosely. However, if if it's excessive you might be missing a few clips that are supposed to be on there. What year/model is it?

 

There are brackets with rubber bushings on the top and the bottom has rubber bushings that set in 'ears' on the front subframe.
It is normal to be able to wiggle the top of the radiator in the top bushings, probably about 3/8 inch.

 

Ok, I'm good then. Thanks for the response, I appreciate it.
