Bumper won't sit flush......

[Shay91Racer]

Hey I got a 91 with a 92 rear Bumper, i know they're the same but i can't get it to sit flush. It has a some sag from where it connects to the bracket all the way to the curve. How do you fix this? Am i missing a piece or what?

[KeeleDesign]

would you by chance have a picture, because if so i am sure i can help you fix your problem.

[Shay91Racer]

yeah.... this is the sag here....

Passenger Side


Driver Side

yeah this is a really common problem with cb7's...you will find a lot of people with sagging front and rear bumpers. But I would also like to know whats the best way of fixing this

[alifeva]

perhaps its because they arent OEM bumper covers?

anyway, maybe you could try:

you know the two screws holding the leading edges of the bumper to the slider brackets? remove these two, push the bumper as high as it will go, then make two new holes in the bumper cover, lower down, and reinstall the screws... that way the slider bracket stays in the same place, but the bumper cover is held up higher relative to it.

ima try that in the morning.... but that probably will work.... makes perfect sense

I may be wrong but isn't there a hole for a screw to be srewed in right there at both ends of the bumper and on the chasis? I know my front bumper that I once remove has them so I'm guessing the rear bumper should too. If there isn't you can simply drill one on each side by being careful screw a little screw in there. Good luck.

Mike, in my case, I have the entire bumper assembly (front).
My only thought is .. perhaps the car hit something (lightly) before I owned it?
I installed a 92-93 rear bumper ..(I have a 90) and it fit perfect!
But the JDM front bumper sits fine on the drivers side .. however, the passenger side
has a small gap of about a quarter inch or more. I'm gonna be taking it off soon
to install a new pair of one piece headlights .. when I do, I'ma measure the mounting brackets
from the ground up .. I bet I come up with the same math as the finished product?

Ok i see your problem.

Alot of times if a car has ever been repainted as i see yours has by the runs near the gas door,
Most rusted quarter panels also rust down to the area where your bumper slider adjustment fastens to, either 1 causing it to fall, or 2 a poor job at fxing the rust may have had the slider misplaced a little in the wrong spot.
3. These sliders get wore out verry easy and aren't expensive to replace. The plastic they are made of wears out on the inside thus causing the fron to drop down.

A easy fix like i did mine is to remove the bumper, after seeing the amount of gap that needs to be closed. Drilling new holes in the side of the frame of thcar raising the bracket up, so you can use your factory holes in the braket it'sself fastening to the bumper.

sometimes the droopy bumper is telling you your car has something a lil wrong or some major rust problems behind their.
Hope you can get thi better alligned, if not, I'll throw some more ideas at ya.

Believe it or not try holding up the bumper before tightening the screws..It was like that for me.

[Shay91Racer]

So this is what i did....

1. Pushed the bumper in and held it in place
2. Placed a jack under the bumper to hold it up while I held it in place.
3. Took a drill & some flat head screws (the top of the screw is flat)
4. Drilled 3 Holes and screwed it in. (Both Sides)
5. Look and checked, looks alot better now!

but I notice it and it drives me crazy cuz it makes my car look like i didnt do it properly and i just threw everything on there.

can anyone help me?!?! how should i go about straighting everything back up??
