I have a 1999 3.2TL, my radiator seems to be a bit loose. The whole unit that holds the 2 fans and rad, just rocks back an forth about 1/2 inch.. are there supposed to be screws or caps on the top of the rad?

Thanks

yes there are supposed to be 2 lil brackets that hold it like this

It's just kinda cradled in there rather than directly bolted to the car... this way it's dampened against the movement of the engine.

Its normal for a little movement of it I had that same question when I purchased my 1994 ACCORD new. I took it to the dealer & ask he said it was normal for it to do that.

Mine is identical; don't waste your time getting it checked out....

yeah i wouldn't waste your time...notice the rubber tabs at the top, where the rad moves...that's why they're rubber so it'll be cushioned when it moves...i've asked the same question before too.
