Adjust Front Bumper?

[storlied]

I was curious as to what bolts I have to loosen to adjust my front bumper? My passenger side is a tiny bit higher than my driver's side.

The bumper bolts.

 

[storlied]

Yeah... which ones?

 

[section525]

Well, if you want to move the passenger side down.. then.. the passenger side bolts.

But wait! If you want to move the driver's side up, then the driver's side bolts would need to be loosened!

Is it April Fool's Day or something?

 

[storlied]

There's like 4 bolts on each side, I loosened the side ones that looked like it would allow me to move it.. but it wouldn't budge. There aren't any clips I'm missing, are there?

 

[vroomzoomboom]

try loosening the side that you want to move, the on the opposite side loosen one, then it should pivot

Just wrap a strap around your bumper to a pole and drive in reverse very fast.

Theres 4 bolts, 2 on each side. Loosen them and adjust the bumper to your liking.

Alright, it's not really lower.. the driver's side is even.. but the thing is.. it's.. tilted.. Hm.. the very left side of the bumper seems to be bent a little bit down on the driver's side. My body shop guy did say one of the bumper mounts was a tiny bit bent and they did their best to tweak it back, which is fine.. I'll just ignore this unless you guys know a way to bent it more?

 

[storlied]

Like this. The other side is perfect though.

 

[storlied]

Someone told me it could be the support brackets... The thing is, I accidentally unbolted the driver's side one.. but I put it back.... how do I correct this?

 

[IZwack]

Take the bumper off and inspect the support brackets at the end of the chassis. Also with the bumper off, inspect it to see if its warped.

 

[storlied]

It's brand new?

 

[storlied]

Any other suggestions? Did I screw something up?

 

[IZwack]

I'm telling you, something is bent .. remove the bumper, its gotta be either the bumper, or the tabs or ears the bumper bolts to .. or maybe even the chassis. Either way, removing the bumper should narrow it down.

 

[storlied]

4 bolts, 2 on each side.. bumper is off.. correct? Is this do-able with one person?

Am I gonna get hit with a bumper? lol..

Theres 4 bolts, 2 on each side. Loosen them and adjust the bumper to your liking.

Any person from the continental United States could do it by themselves.

 

[storlied]

You're funny. Paraphoe told me once it was a 2 person job to do anything with the bumper.

 

[IZwack]

Just do it already!

Its a simple one person job.
