I got into a fender bender while hauling a new utility trailer back from the manufacturer Thursday. The front bumper got slightly pushed in on the driver's side when it kissed the back of a Malibu. It's pushed in and upward both about a half inch on the driver's side. Any suggestions as to what it will take to get everything back in line as it should be? The bumper doesn't appear to be bent, just pushed in. Impact was about 10-15 MPH.

Thanks,

Mark

Might check the brackets that hold the bumper, usually those or the bumper bends. The bumper may be bent just enough, that it wont line up right even with new bracket. I dont think that the brackets and bumper really cost to much.

After poking around a little, I noticed that the bolts had moved a bit in some of the brackets. I loosened every thing up, and managed to get it just about perfect. Thanks for the advice.
