Radiator issue??

[badmix]

Ill try and explain this as best as I can. Right now there isnt anything wrong with my radiator, but as I was monkeying around, I grabbed the upper rad hose, where it connects to the radiator actually moves a lil bit. WHere the neck that the hose clamps onto at that radiator itself. To me, it looks like that area is getting weak, there shouldnt be ANY movement in the metal, correct?

Ill try and get a picture tomorrow if that would help.

If its brass, most of them have some flex.
Some of the older truck ones had cast tanks, and you could darn near use them as a hookup point to winch the truck out.
But most of the ones on passenger type vehicles after the 60s are thin brass.
Just don't grab it and bend the heck out of it and it should be fine.
