So my front bumper hanging off kilter has been annoying me since I got the truck. The passenger side is pushed in about 1/2" and just slightly higher than the drivers side. I managed to get some time to remove it today and am a little befuddled by what I see.







Obviously the drivers side one appears to be bent to me. However, the drivers side of the bumper wasn't the problem. It was hanging fine.

Should I be looking elsewhere for the problem?

 

Both look bent to me.

 

Hmm OK. Would you guess that enough force to bend the brackets would have been enought to bend something else farther in?

You don't happen to know where I could get a picture of the brackets the way they are supposed to be do you?

 

Google images... and the brackets are made to bend so the frame does not and the bumper itself is more than likely bent too. hit a junk yard and find a good set. what year is your truck ?

 

Yeah I already tried google images to no avail. As for the junk yard, no one seems to have this year range out here.

 

They are only $10 per side...

Hmm that piece doesn't have the part that sticks straight out front. What year is that one supposed to be for?

 

I found the drivers side bracket: http://www.tascaparts.com/oe-ford/6l3z17b985aacp

The Tasca page that lists all the parts for the bumper only lists that one bracket, not one for each side: http://www.tascaparts.com/auto-parts...nts-front-scat

Still looking for the passenger side. Is there a chance they are identical? Anyone have some parts breakdowns they could check for me?

 

What year and model is truck?
