Default Radiator Moving a bit

as i was cleaning this part of the engine, i noticed that my radiator wasnt quite still, but seemed to move a bit if i applied power to it... is this normal or am i missing anything?

thanks in advance!

Yep, should move, usually forward/backwards (~ 5mm each way).

Most rads are soft mounted, not sure why..? Possibly due to the fact that being aluminum they tend to expand a fair bit, pete..?
