without seeing the bumper face............ if it has no kinks or eyebrows take a good look at your mount brackets / braces before pulling any on the bumper.
looks like it needs aprox 1/2"down and 1/2 to 3/4" outward adjustment.
the mounts / brackets have some adjustment and I they were not good and tight it may have just moved on the frame rails.
may be worth a look.
yep, i looked under the car where the bumper bracket is attached, and sure looks like it could be moved out some. other than that, it is still slightly bent just to the left of the two vertical attaching bolts. my game plan is to loosen the mounting brackets and pull the bumper out as far as i can get it, and slip a 2" tie down behind the bumper and try that for now.without seeing the bumper face............ if it has no kinks or eyebrows take a good look at your mount brackets / braces before pulling any on the bumper.

I had the exact thing on my rear bumper corner after parallel parking in Gold Country one day. Some moron gave it a good corner shot. Don't know how it was done, but a local body guy pulled it out and you cannot detect anything. Perfect identical spacing now on each side.
don't know. was parked at a local auto parts store. when i opened the trunk is when i noticed it had some black paint on the corner. didn't notice the bend till a few days later. I ended up using a 3000 lb. tie strap to pull it out with the frame of my Chrysler T&C. (thanx Cranky)Hope it pans out for you.. Sucks to see. AMD makes the bumpers and brackets if you need to go new. BTW....what ended up hitting you?

yea, i'm pretty **** too. tried the jack under the corner to get it up a bit more, but no go. just gonna leave it at that.Again pretty close but I'm **** when it comes to this stuff. Maybe a block under the corner and floor jack to take the 1/4" of "low" out of it? Or leave it alone and call it good?
