Umm ... one of my shut off Solenoids is loose at the base ... the base is secure but the body wiggles a little bit. Do I need to replace this or is this normal?

New to diesel engines so the only thing I have to compare them to is the other engine, which the solenoid is firmly secure (no wiggle)

Thanks in advance,
 
Should not be loose. There is a plunger that is spring loaded, so there is stress on that. I think it is just two small bolts that hold it to the block. Loose is not right.
 
Ugh!!! that’s what I was afraid of. I'll replace both to be safe and keep the old good one as a backup I guess.

Thanks for your input.
