Message:
About 1 1/2 years ago I got into a small wreck and had the from bumber, facia, and hood replaced.

Now my front bumber is hanging crooked. I no longer live in the same state and am not going back to the jack*ss that did the body work, but was wondering how adjustable the mounting is.

According to the invoince, all of the mounting brackets, inside and out, were replaced and should be straight, and after a quick check, they seem new.

Since I had a company car the truck has not been a daily driver since the accident, but is now going back into daily service, and the bumper is driving me nuts. Any suggestions?

Just loosen up the bolts and move the bumper around till its straight then retighten the bolts
You dont need to loosen the bolts a lot just enough so you can move the bumper around. the brackets have slotted holes

Thanks.

I've been meaning to get to it, but fixing things around here is a real pain in the *ss. I live in the city, so I am contstantly going to friends' places in more suburban or rural areas to do all of the work.

I should have done it last weekend when I did the plugs, t-stat, hose, and belt.
