front bumper alignment

[timmy]

has anyone had any alignment issues with the front bumper on the 2nd gens?
my bumper seems like it is sagging real bad the hood and the fender are overlapping and the gap from the edge of the hood to the grill is about a half inch off from the right side to the left. i will post pics as soon as i can.

I don't have that problem, but I did notice today the lines where the front bumper meets the side fenders. The passenger side is perfect, the drivers side the bumper in "pushed" in a bit. Makes me wonder if I hit something. :ponder:

Yeah pics would be helpful. I've had my bumper off twice and there's really not much on the mounting locations that would allow it to be off really bad. Other than the million bolts underneat and two (I think it's two) bolts up top, the rest is snapped on and held in with the plastic rivet/clip things.

I know, don't you just hate that???

So far, inside I found like 6 screws/bolts, and 4 of them hold the damn radio on, :wallb:

Bob says."There's the bell for round two and here they come again. Tracy's boobs appear to be taking things a little more serious now. They seem to realize that this isn't just going to be a cake walk, if they're going to win they're going to cartoon sex (http://www.love-sex-videos.com) really have to knock Andrew's balls around." Harry says.

I hate to bump an old thread and create a wall of text but the reason is valid. Im having this issue with my passenger side. the hood and fender line perfectly on the driver's side and the passenger fender falls below the hood line like 1/2".

at first I thought it was the rubber bumpers on the hood not allowing the hood to fully close, but when i looked to where my hood overlaps my bumper near the grille, the passenger side doesn't overlap. it hits the of the bumper as if thats whats stoping my hood from closing fully and lining up on the pass. side. so overall it is like the bumper somehow moved foward on the pass. side. I have removed and reinstalled the bumper and can find no definitive mounting point or anything i can whack real good with a sledge to fix it. I will update tonight or tommorow with pics. If you have any clue let me know please.

Take it back 2 the dealership it should be under warranty.Your profile says you have 08.

I have been too lazy to take mine back but the dealership said they would have to move the whole front end around and it would take a couple days. But they would let me barrow any vehicle off the lot i wanted.

Timmy,

Let Nicole take it to the dealership now while your in Iraq. Because, she cant drive both of them at the same time.

My car is an 08 and its a super clean piece of work. If I took it to the dealer I would still be afraid that they would tell me it was because someone hit me or because my car is lowered and i bottomed out on something

[timmy]

thanks bob i will tell her.
my car is pretty clean too but they can tell if you hit something or not if your dealership is cool they will hook you up anyway. the only worry i have it when they remove the bolst for reallignment there will be marks from the bolts but i will repaint mine to look like new again

so I took it to the dealership Monday and they said they'd look at it. after about 20 minutes they come get me and have me come to the shop area and look under my car on a lift and tell me that because my car is scratched, muddy (yes they pointed out the mud under my car), and the plastic splash pan is cracked that tells them "the car has been put in a ditch and there was nothing they can do."

:blink:

So im pretty pissed about it.
