Bumper Surprise

[ollieplimsoles]

Out driving along a country road this morning in my 1984 SEC
- all is well - when suddenly, after a dip in the road surface, I am subjected to the most horrendous screeching noise and vibration. All sorts of fatalistic ideas rush through my head.

Well anyway on inspection I find that the bumper on the passenger side has fallen slightly and is rubbing on the tyre - could be worse. I have now examined the area more closely and have found the following. The bumper has a small hollow box projection that resides in a bracket that is suspended from the underneath of the car. This box section appears to have sheared. I supppose I could jury rig the whole thing with suitable binding - but I'd rather not. Am I looking at a total bumper replacement or can I replace the offending appendage on the bumper. I so, what part am I looking for?

Thanks in advance,

Mark S.

Thanks again for your help.

The SECs are notorious or their poor front bumper hangers. I did the same on mine, but managed to crack the AMG spoiler on that side. Ended up having to remove the bumper, had it repainted and then had a friend modify the new bracket with an angle grinder so the bumper would sit more flush against the wing.
