Is It Necessary to Replace a Cracked Bumper?

[SanJosephine]

After a bumper is cracked in a collision, replacement is not always necessary. The appropriate solution can be chosen based on the extent of the damage. Specific standards are as follows: 1. If there are only small cracks after the collision, welding can be used as a remedy. Most repair shops have mature plastic welding techniques for bumpers, and the bumper can still effectively reduce impact force after repair. 2. If the internal support structure of the bumper is damaged after the collision, it is necessary to replace the bumper with a new one. When replacing, it is best to choose an original manufacturer's product to ensure better toughness and quality. 3. If the bumper is severely deformed after the collision, it also needs to be replaced with a new one to better absorb the impact forces encountered during low-speed collisions or scrapes.
