Thoughts

ive never seen a radiator do this.. Idk if its recent or a long time ago, I was under the driver side and I saw a loose thing, I grabbed it, it was a mount/donut for a radiator I realized. Then I went from above and saw how far ahead that radiator is, its supposed to be in that plastic slot thing I think. Also I think that means something is broken?

I am glad you got it fixed!

Trying to see the screen shotted pictures on my phone, however, did not work so well. Are you saying there is a plastic mount that curled ?

Just curious what the issue was.

yes, there was evidence that at some point, something had passed through the grille without damaging it , but smacked into the PS cooler, condensor, AND radiator, causing all 3 to be dented and the condensor and the radiator both being upended off their lower driver side mounts, causing them to twist in toward the cabin on the lower side, and that meant the radiator mount pushed the plastic mount it rests in ovr and twisting that too for many years. Carefully untwisting and securing things back in their proper spots was able to fix without causing any leaks. just had to undo the shroud, fan/clutch, oil cooler lines from rad, rad hose, and air intake and then grille/core support cover, that allowed access to all things and allowed me to put it all back
