DIY request for fixing bumper sag?

[90-JDMCB7]

i use the yellow JDM zip ties they hold up just keep a pack of them in your car having a low car will scrap shit occasionally just the nature of the beast my shit has been broken since i bought it and i just run zip ties it works and yopu can make the gap what ever you want

Where exactly are you putting these zip ties....on the corner edges? Is there a hole there to run it through and a stable spot on the frame to secure it to, good enough to pull that bumper cover up some? Got any pics?

I've taken mine off maybe 4-5 times and haven't had any type of gap issues when I reinstalled it. Might be because I replace ALL the nuts/bolts/screws when I put it back on instead of just a couple of them.

The 2 nuts that go behind the bumper lights (1 behind each light) and the 2 nuts that go inside the engine bay (1 underneath each headlight) I'll put on till they're barely loose so that I can adjust the bumper if need be.

The 2 screws that go inside the fender well (1 on each side) I tighten all the way.

Once this is done I center myself in front of the bumper and lift with my knee till the bumper is where I want it and then I tighten down the 2 nuts behind the bumper lights.

After that I tighten down the 2 nuts underneath the headlights inside the engine bay (while still holding the bumper up) and there it is...................bumper is back on AND straight.


Sometimes I'll have to loosen a nut or 2 to adjust the bumper a little but other than that it's cake (even though I HATE doing this). I think the biggest problem people run into with bumper sag is the fact that they don't reinstall all the necessary hardware like they should. Enjoy!

i found out that sumtimes when messing with the bumper the two long bolts that go to the support gets bent at the joint where it meets the support it self. try bending it down and try that...

I loosen the bolts, put my knee under one side and lift, then tighten, then do the other side

I do this too, works great.

since i had the car the only thing holding on my bumper is the 2 nuts the are in the engine bay. it must have been in a accident at 1 time or another before i got it lol

yea same problem i have....
i already tried wat u guys said but nothin works

sucks...

Not sure if anyone has actually given you a correct answer yet, I cbf reading through. But the problem is that you (or the previous owner) have hit something with your bumper, (probably another a car). This has caused the brackets to crack, bend and form into something else which they're not supposed to be. I have it on both my front and rear bumpers, I noticed it once I had hit both cars and the only cure of it is to buy a completely new (or used) bumper with the correct brackets.

Or, as stated above. Use zip-ties.
