I replaced radiator on car and all A/C system worked good. But I forgot to install two tetragonal rubber bodies (image attached) after replacement of radiator and battery. I do not remember where it was located. If you could instruct me where it should be installed very appreciated.
Thanks for your help!

Good evening.

They are rubber bumpers or insulators at the bottom studs of the radiator and condenser. I attached a picture with the location of the insulators.

Yes, you just need to release it enough to lift it up and install the rubbers.

Thanks a lot for your reply and help!
But I still can’t find exact location for the rubber blocks. Is it located bottom of both side left and right or just locate both in right side?

But I could not find a perfect positions for them. On the radiator or condenser? There are only two rubbers on the bottom of condenser that matched on the frame of holes on both side.

Thanks experts for your kind instruction. In fact these rubber blocks are spacer between condenser and radiator at middle top and beneath of condenser and radiator on Pontiac Montana. Cheers!
