I have a 2001 Nissan Sentra (GXE, if it matters). For a while I've had this really annoying vibrating going on. Last weekend, while replacing the spark plugs, I noticed that my radiator is "loose" - there's a good 1" or more of play.
It appears that the two rubber grommet things on top are stretched out, allowing the radiator to move around. Is it supposed to be like this? Can I just replace those rubbers?
Sorry if I'm not describing it well, but any help would be appreciated.
Explain more on the vibration. Its probably not the radiator.
Ok, it's not so much a vibration as more of a rattle sound. And I am almost positive it IS the radiator - I can move the radiator by hand & hear the sound. I've never seen a radiator mounted like this, with those rubber grommet things - maybe I'll take a picture after work, so I can give you a better idea of what I'm talking about.
I had that problem before. Replace the bottom and top ones. The bottom ones look different but they are just as worn. The parts man can find them. Also, unless you have already done this, replace all the radiator hose clamps and any other stock hose clamp in the water lines that looks like it could be removed with a pair of pliers or your next problem will be a leak under pressure.
