Hello all. While changing the oil Sunday on my '99XC I noticed that the radiator was cock-eyed and was hanging down a little on the passenger side. After looking into it I found that the mounting bracket had broken, so I wire tied it to the frame for now. It looks like the radiator attaches to the frame with one bracket on either side, of which one is now broken. I'm desperately hoping that there is some way to fix this without replacing the whole radiator. Am I going to have to replace the whole radiator just because one of the mounts broke? With only 58k miles, I was really hoping there was an alternative. Does anyone know anything about this?

'99 V70 XC - Tinted Windows / Rear Spoiler / K&N Filter / Twin Hella 500 Fog Lamps On The Grill / "Semi-Custom Dual Exhaust" (Ok, so I removed the cap on the drive side bumper, cut a hole in the muffler, welded on a pipe and a Volvo tip! It sounds and looks pretty good though!) New addition - an '05 S60R Black w/Atacama & 6 speed.

Haven't heard of any thing except replacing the radiator.

I have never done it, but I assume the broken piece is still attached to the bolt? If you have the broken piece you could try a product called JB weld and try to epoxy it back on the rad? Like Bay 13 says I always replace the rad ,but if it was my own car I might...naaahh if it was my mother in laws car I would try it 
Just a thought
