Coolant surge tank nut
Is there supposed to be a nut on the rearmost mount for the coolant surge tank / reservoir? See area circled in green in picture below. I'm wondering if the factory forgot to put this on or if it wasn't deemed necessary.
I'd appreciate if someone could take a look and report back. The middle/top mount has a nut and the forward mount location has a rubber grommet only (no nut).

Thanks for the feedback! It sounds like it's normal then.
For what it's worth, it looks like the front / lower mount has a rubber grommet as shown in the picture below (circled in yellow). So to recap, here's what's present at the 3 mounts:
If anyone's looks different from that, let me know.

Mine looks the same, however my reservoir has a lot of movement. No clue if the bolts are loose but from what I can see it’s creating a noise when I drive. I thought it was my suspension maybe shocks or something but I’ve pushed and pulled my suspension parts in every which way and haven’t gotten the noise to reproduce. I shake my coolant reservoir and the noise is similar…I can’t simulate the force of a 3600 lb vehicle driving through rough Maryland roads. I ordered the grommet located on the stud that has one and will be applying to the rear stud to see if that reduces noise. If not I’m going to get a nut and secure it like the top mount. They are all the same studs from what I can see, maybe GM did not like the access to the lower two studs so they opted to not use any nuts. |
