Default Fan shroud flex?

My L-82 when revving in nuetral, makes the fan shroud flexdownward toward the fan. The darn thing doesn't hit, but I have never seen so much flex from a shroud on anything before. Is this normal?

I had a similar problem, until I realized that bubba had broken off the top and bottom bolt tabs. I believe your shroud in that year is bolted by two top bolts and two bottom, mine were missing completely including the tabs.

Is the shroud actually flexing, or is the entire shroud moving? I suspect the latter (i.e. another vote for a mounting issue) because these shrouds are quite rigid.
