Is It Still Worth Buying a Car with a Replaced Front Bumper Beam?
1 Answers
Replacing the bumper beam has no impact on the car, and a vehicle with a repaired or replaced bumper beam is not considered a salvage car. Here are the relevant details: 1. Function: During a collision, the front bumper beam distributes the energy from any form of offset or frontal impact as evenly as possible between the two energy-absorbing supports, maximizing the absorption of energy by these supports and evenly transferring the collision force to other energy-absorbing areas. In low-speed collisions, such as city traffic rear-end accidents, the front bumper beam plays a role in protecting components like the fenders, radiator, hood, and lights. 2. Damage Reduction: The rear bumper beam helps reduce damage to areas such as the trunk, tailgate, and rear light assembly.
