Front bumper alignment

Sukiemaxie · Jan 26, 2020

Hello all,
Any help will be greatly appreciated. I’ve taken off a soft a/nudge bar on my 2004 discovery td5 and now looking at it head on the bumper seems to be Lower on the off side ( ie the gap from the bottom of the headlight to the top of the bumper on the offside is larger than the gap on near side headlight / bumper ) . Is there any way to make an adjustment to this ?

Many thanks
Tom

If I recall where the bumper bolts to the chassis it has slots rather than holes so if you loosen them you can have someone hold it in position whilst the bolts are tightened.

The side cotton reels are fixed, but the holes on the crush cans are slightly elongated, giving a degree of movement possible. Only a centimeter or so tho'

Many thanks for your replies, do I need to take the plastic bumper off to do this?
Here’s a photo of how it looks
