Default 97 XJ Upper Radiator Mounts?

Ok, I was replacing my radiator cap and noticed my radiator moved back and forth a good bit, front of vehicle to back of vehicle. It felt like the radiator was mounted on the bottom but not the top.

Just need to know how it is supposed to mount before I go removing the front end which I really don't have time for. Something is missing or broken. Or, is it loose so it can flex for some reason?

If your upper mount is similar to mine (2000), then you may need to make a mount for the upper. Over the years, I have had a total of 3 radiators (factory, and 2 aftermarket replacements). The 2 aftermarket ones mounted slightly different on the upper and I just had to make a simple bracket to mount them.

There should be two rubber coated blocks just under the crossbar on top of the radiator. One per side.
