should the radiator jiggle at all?

Hello,

I was under the hood, just checking that the bolts on the intake were still tight... and I accidentally bumped the radiator hose.. and heard the radiator wiggle.

I grabbed the hose, and while it is attached tight, I can see the radiator move slightly, and can heard it bump and I juggle.. The play is less than a 1/8 inch.. so I am wondering if this is within spec..

I don't hear it in the car. Never noticed.

Could something have been removed during the intake install?
I have the R2C intakes.

Thanks in advance.
-Ryan

Radiators in most cars have a small amount of play. They are mounted on rubber mounts to isolate any road/engine vibrations.
