Default radiator movement

got in an accident and ever since then my car has shook, you can feel a vibration. I was checking my oil today and noticed I can move my radiator and it has about an inch of wiggle. Is this normal or is this part of what is causing my car to shake? I need to check my motor mounts next but thought that was weird.

An inch? That's a lot. Need more details.
What kind of accident, what was damaged/fixed? Vibration at idle or while moving? Do you feel the vibration through the steering wheel or do you hear it?

I had my car parked in a parking lot, car backed into my driver side bumper underneath my headlight. Got a new a bumper but my crummy insurance company said that I had tried to fix it myself first(I didn't) and that they weren't covering anything else so my bumper hangs a little low on the driver side(1/6 inch only notice if you get up on it and look) even with the new bumper. Ill grab pics.

The vibration used to only be felt in drive with the A/C on when I stopped, put it in idle and it went away. Now I can feel it with the AC on or off when I am stopped and a little at idle. I feel it in my pedals and steering wheels.
