Used Bumpers

The bumper is a metal structural component meant to keep a vehicle safe in the event of a collision. The bumper cover is what most people refer to as the bumper. However, it is just a component of the bumper assembly, which absorbs and redistributes impact energy during low-speed accidents to reduce passenger injuries and damage to the vehicle.

• Used Front Bumpers

The front bumper is located directly behind the headlights and grille. All visible elements, such as the grill inserts, bumper reinforcement, turn signal lights, and parking lights, are included in the front bumper assembly.

• Used Rear Bumpers

A rear bumper on the other hand is located beneath the taillights and under the trunk. In the event of a rear-end accident, your vehicle’s rear bumper protects you and your passengers. The bumper’s numerous components and attachments work together to offer aesthetic attractiveness while remaining firmly connected.

Should I Replace the Bumper or Just Repair it?

You must always replace the bumper in the following situations:

• Your bumper’s structural integrity is significantly compromised when it is cracked. This means you will be less protected in the case of an accident hence it is better to replace it entirely. Additionally, repairing a cracked bumper is a time-consuming job. 
• It takes a lot of effort to repair a scratched or scraped bumper. To begin, the bumper must be shaved down to make it level. After that, you’ll probably need to use a compound to fill in the scratches, and then the bumper will need to be repainted. In such situations, it’s usually easier to simply replace it rather than to repair it.
• If the hooks are damaged or broken, the bumper must be replaced since a bumper’s hooks cannot be fixed. Otherwise, the bumper might fall off altogether if these hooks are damaged or broken.

• Buying used bumpers salvaged from low mileage vehicle reduces the chances of the bumper being worn down and damaged.  
• Make sure that the used bumper has a warranty and be knowledgeable of the store’s warranty and return policies. 
• Check for any leakages, spills, broken parts, cracks, dents, or rust on the used bumpers.
