lx front bumper alignment

[306lx]

just wondering how hard it is to align an lx front bumper. mine is off a little bit on the drivers side. i know who ever had it before me had an innercooler in there and never aligned right. it drives me nuts, does it just unbolt or do i need to drill out the rivets too? thanks for the help.

I think a picture would help. I'm not real sure what you mean by saying it's off a bit on the drivers side. There are studs in the bumper cover, which go through the end of the fenders and then you put nuts over them to hold it to the car. Unless the fenders are bent or something, I'm not sure how it could be unaligned very much. Try to post up a picture if you can.

Just loosen the bolts at the top of the fender. 10mm. Pull on the cover a little and tighten on the inside. Sometimes a friend is helpfull.

Thats what I did, worked great. And yes a second person helps a lot to pull the bumper cover while you are under the car with the bolts.

cool thanks guys. as far as how the bumper is not aligned, on the drivers side where the bumper and fender meet on the top, the bumper sits down about 1/8" inch. the hood not aligninging on it is the worse part. i will try to fix it tomorrow. thanks again for the tips.
