Where is the bumper?
2 Answers
Car bumpers are located at the front of the vehicle, referred to as the front bumper, and at the rear of the vehicle, known as the rear bumper. Below is relevant information about car bumpers: Introduction to car bumpers: As automotive components, they are more prone to scratches and impacts during daily driving and are among the most frequently repaired parts. Both the front and rear bumpers of cars are made of plastic, commonly referred to as plastic bumpers. Functions of car bumpers: Car bumpers are safety devices designed to absorb and mitigate external impacts, protecting the front and rear of the vehicle body. Currently, in addition to maintaining their original protective function, front and rear bumpers also aim to achieve harmony and unity with the vehicle's styling and pursue lightweight design.
I often help friends repair cars, let me explain the position of the bumper. It's located on the outermost part of the front and rear of the car, acting like armor to protect the vehicle body. The front bumper sits below the headlights, connected to the grille, and spans almost the entire width of the front end. The rear bumper wraps around the bottom of the rear, covering the exhaust pipe and license plate frame. You can feel it by squatting down—it's usually made of plastic and produces a hollow sound when lightly tapped. Its main function is to absorb impact during collisions, helping to mitigate force in rear-end collisions. During minor scrapes, the bumper is often the first part to get scratched. Last time I reversed into a bollard, the rear bumper dented, but the car body remained unharmed. Some cars even hide radar sensors inside the bumper, so its positioning is designed with precision.
