I just got my car back from the body shop on friday and went to install my Koyo aluminum radiator in there, and it just seemed like something was missing at the bottom of the radiator suport? There's a plastic piece down there, but the holes where the pegs go into don't have like any rubber bushings or anything in them.

I looked on one of the parts dealer's websites and there is a left and right lower bracket. Right now it's like the radiator would be just resting on the lower tank and the pegs would be free to move around within the holes, it just didn't seem right so I didn't hook it up and fill it. Any insight?

I did search quite a bit as I often do.

Day wasn't lost though, changed oil, rotor and cap, belts, wipers and trimmed my altima fans to fit nicely.

I installed it, it fits but rests on the lower rad hose, still doesn't seem right. It's in there solidly though.

I never did update this, there are rubber bushings/isolators that slide onto the pegs at the bottom of the radiator. Apparently mine were lost at some point by the previous owner.

You mean these radiator support feets? Those are easily lost cause most people don't realize its even there when doing a radiator swap.
