Hello,
So I noticed my front bumper isn't aligned currently on the passenger side more noticeable between bumper and fender as there is a sagging gap. I watched a YouTube video and seen that there are 2 8mm bolts that attach the upper part of the bumper to the fender and the rest are align the bumper and wheel liner. I looked and noticed that there is only 1 bolt that is barely attaching the bumper to the fender, so the other one must have gotten lost. For the life of me, I can't screw that 8mm bolt into the fender through my bumper. It seems like the bumper just sags too much and the bolt isn't strong enough to hold. The fender is definitely cracked so it's not in its best position but I pretty much gave up so for now it looks pretty lame. I'm thinking maybe I need a new fender or the bumper needs to be aligned higher somewhere somehow. I've heard the radiator support is that holds the bumper, or there are taps that are adjustable? Any tips or experience with this?

Pull your wheel well liners out....that will give you access to all the bolts that hold the bumper on. You just need to take your time and loosen everything up....align it how you want, and then tighten everything back down. It takes a little time...but it's pretty easy to do.
I had to do the same thing to my car to get all of the gaps between the hood and the fenders lined up right. If you are missing any of those clips with the threaded holes in them for the bumper bolts, most autoparts stores will have them. My car was missing a few..that was part of the problem. |
