Getting the Wheeling Fever
|
So a couple days ago I was looking at my rear bumper, and I noticed that my left side of the bumper was a little higher than the right. How would I be able to fix this problem? I also noticed I had a really minor dent on the bumper, and I was wondering if that was easy to push out. Thanks for your help guys

Ouch! You should be able to adjust it back into shape by using the play in the mounting brackets (providing they're not bent <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> )

Funny ... mine is a little off too and has always been that way as far as I know. I noticed it a couple months after buying it new and before towing anything. So I bet it was not installed straight when they assembled it. Anyone else notice this? Look on the good side ... it's great for rain (or creek) water runoff! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
Hang on, we're goin for a ride!

yeah adjusting the mounting brackets worked for me thanks. What about this really minor dent that I have? It's barely noticible but I just get annoyed each time I see it. haha

If you're careful you can take a couple of whacks at it with a body hammer and / or a dolly. You want to use something with a spherical hammering face and just kind of pick at it slowly and lightly starting from the middle of the dent. Seems like a lot of work IMHO, I guess it depends on how picky you want to get with the dent...
