I modified my upper radiator mounts because the rad was too loose, bouncing all around in its perch. I cut out the old dry rotted rubber on the top brackets, and used some sway bar bushings on top of the radiator. Simple fix, now the radiator is tight, but not too tight.

AZ cars don't rust they just dry rot all rubber, plastic, fabric & paint. I wouldn't know how to deal with a SSV (Sacrificial Salt Vehicle).Originally posted by Damkid View Post'88 LX (VIN#30) one of the first Built 12/86
