Pulsing Vibration

So I recently replaced my Radiator Fan Assembly and now when I'm idled it makes the car vibrate in pulses.

Any thoughts?

Mine does the same thing. Not OEM fans, but it's pretty normal. Ideally the fans should only run after the car reaches a certain temperature, and they have a high and low speed.

I don't even notice the fans kicking on/off unless I have the windows open.

You sure everything's bolted on tight and not rubbing against the rad?

Ok. Can you wiggle the radiator?
That means the bushings that hold it down are worn.
Pull out your 1080p phone and lets hear it.


If you're saying the engine is vibration more then it's unrelated.
