#1: Rear bumper 'sagging' to one side Author: alanamh, Posted: Wed Sep 07, 2011 3:14 pm ---- I think I've has a bump or knock and my rear bumper is slanted slightly on one side. Can't really notice it unless you really look but I know it's there and it is bugging me. I know it's not doing any harm and it's not effecting my drive. So what can I do? Do I need to take the whole bumper off and re fit it or is there an easier way?

#3: Re: Rear bumper 'sagging' to one side Author: Antknee, Location: ManchesterPosted: Wed Sep 07, 2011 3:38 pm ---- could just take it off and look underneath, easy job if you have a socket set
#4: Re: Rear bumper 'sagging' to one side Author: alanamh, Posted: Wed Sep 07, 2011 3:41 pm ---- socket set? and i will take some pictures tomorrow when it's light!

Might be worth checking the bolt might need tightening
#9: Re: Rear bumper 'sagging' to one side Author: alanamh, Posted: Wed Sep 07, 2011 4:28 pm ---- i have the basic tool, hammer, screwdriver ect but not all that fancy stuff!

Just love the way you list hammer first.
A socket set isn't fancy, it's essential along with spanners, various screwdrivers, pliers.
Just buy a cheap tool kit from Argos. For the work you do on your car, you don't need the expensive stuff, just something that will do the job.
Before people start with the "buy cheap buy twice" it's not like they are going to be used for major repairs. It's Alana, she doesn't know one end of a screwdriver from the other.

That is true, my dad bought me a good tool box for xmas. I know the difference between a flat head screw driver and a phillips thank you The only thing I feel compitent doing to my car is changing the rear lights, I wouldnt even know how to change the front ones and changing the fuel cap. I'm even worried about when my wind deflectors come if I can manage to fit them!

Point proven.
One end is the tip, the other is the handle.
If you could afford my rates, I'd sort stuff out for you

wind deflectors are the easiest thing to fit aswell
#17: Re: Rear bumper 'sagging' to one side Author: craigy00craig, Location: surreyPosted: Thu Sep 08, 2011 2:01 pm ---- you dont need tools for wind deflectors just put the windows down and slide them up. Also when i removed my rear bumper there was about 5 bolts not 3 and i had to get the back wheels off to get to them... maybe it was just mine

I have a mrs who doesn't even drive, screams everytime she sees a spider or any insect, likes glee and is obsessed with cleaning. I am probably the more butch one lol.
I've had a look on youtube about wind deflectors and they seem pretty simple to fit i think....i hope
