Default Lower Radiator Hose & Pipe - ERA 289 FIA

I noticed some drips of coolant from the lower radiator hose this weekend, and in looking at the hose and the aluminum pipe it connects into, it felt like there was quite a bit of play - at least more than I was expecting. Do the hoses wear out or become loose or more flexible over time? There was enough wiggle in the hose that the aluminum pipe felt like it made contact with the cross-member of the frame when I gave the pipe a solid shake. Has anyone else experienced this? Solutions? How much clearance should there be between the aluminum pipe and the frame? And how stiff should the lower radiator hose be? Thanks in advance!!
