Does your radiator seem a little loose?

Just noticed this today as I was checking my fluids and oil. It seem as my radiator may be somewhat loose. I move it back and forth with no such force and it seems to have about 1 inch of movement. I had a 94 acura gsr and it was somewhat loose but not this bad. Maybe someone here can check theirs next time you open your hood and let me know before I take it in to the dealer. BTW my TL has 10,000 miles. TIA guys.

Yeah weird, mine moves too! but the plastic bushings under the plastic flap hiding the connectors hold it in place well. 1 inch seems excessive, maybe you're missing a bushing?

Mine has done it since it was new. Vibration is bad for radiators so it's isolated well.
