Default Dodge Dakota

I'm new and wanting to learn about repairs to my truck. Had a minor fender bender and although we both walked away without a scratch, I just noticed my front bumper is sagging and I wondered if anyone knows how to fix it?

Welcome to DF, you might want to throw some pics up here so we get a better idea of what happened.

Default Alldata should help

Like others said pics will help. That being said Most bumpers are held on by bolts, screws, and sometimes pop clips.

I usually buy a repair manual such as a chiltons to know how to repair/remove parts. My last vehicle I ended up getting an all data subscription online. I basically downloaded my car and unsubscribed. All Data had waay more information and diagrams then the hard copy repair manual did.

I will probably get the Alldata for my truck when I get around to it.

They got a couple sample cars up there so you can see what it offers. It should show you how to remove the bumper clearly.

Here's an example from their sample focus:

Click on focus and then the bumper, clearly shows the bolts and what to remove.


I would take it apart and look at it, then you might get lucky and just have a simple fix on your hands.

You're going to have to remove the bumper cover and see what needs an adjustment or replacement.
