Car is 01 GS430 71k miles. I moved it forward and it slides back to where the pics show. I dont understand why. Its not leaking and it seems to stop when it hits the lip on rad. dont know if its always been like this or if I just noticed it. I thought maybe the stock preloade clamp got tired so I put on a regular clamp but it still does it. Car doesn't run hot or boil over into overflow. last pic shows where it I put it before it moves.

Weird, just noticed the same problem with mine as well. Bought a hose clamp at autozone, tightened the living crap out of it, and it seems to stay in place now.

Sign of motor mounts going bad?

regular clamp seemed to help mine a little but I'm leery tightning the crap out of it because the rad is plastic....

Doubt it & also mounts were replaced once already under warranty.

Check your radiator cap. When I discovered my hose was sliding off, I removed the cap, and found that the bottom piece broke off (and is roaming through my cooling system somewhere). Just wondering if its a coincidence.

That factory clamps sucks. If you can, get the hose clamp that you can tighten it

I wouldn't sweat it. As long as you have that clamp on their, it won't get by that 'lip' on the radiator outlet.

There was a guy with a black gs400 with Works T1S had his hose slipped off. Fix it before it happens.

I also think its a sign that the motor mount is going bad, mine does the same thing and I know my mounts are bad.
