A vibration damping system of an automotive vehicle consists of a radiator which is fluidly connected through flexible radiator hoses to an engine and elastically supported through elastic members to a vehicle body. The radiator hoses are fixed at the vicinity of an end section thereof to the vehicle body in such a manner that the radiator has a pitching natural frequency separate from a bouncing natural frequency. Additionally, the elastic members are so constructed and arranged to allow the bouncing natural frequency of the radiator to be separate from the vehicle body flexural vibration resonance frequency and from the resonance frequency of a steering column, thereby effectively damping low frequency vibration of the vehicle.
