A bumper bracket is basically a metal mount that connects the bumper to the vehicle frame. It was originally designed as an exposed metal support which held the bumper in place. Today, bumper brackets are a concealed feature, designed to absorb low speed impact and help redistribute collision energy away from the passenger cabin.
The bumper bracket acts as a metal mount for a vehicles bumper. It is typically installed on the left and right corner of a cars front and rear. Some vehicles also feature a center bracket. Its job is to secure the bumper onto the vehicles body. Over the years, its function has changed to improve car safety.
Bumper brackets play an important role in maintaining the ability of a bumper to absorb initial impact. In some vehicles, crushable brackets are installed to help absorb shock. As the kinetic energy is mostly spent on crushing these front components, less energy is transferred to critical components like the engine and the passenger cabin.
Bumper brackets must be checked for damage every time the bumper is hit in a collision. Driving with a damaged or misaligned bracket can compromise the safety of your vehicle. If the bumper bracket is not properly secured, it may fall off while driving and put other people on the road in danger.
Rust and corrosion may also weaken the mount. Swift replacement of rusted and corroded parts is important to protect other components of your vehicle from obtaining damage as well.
