Looking for a front impact absorber. The one that goes behind the bumper reinforcement and mounts to the radiator support. At one time i could find these online, on some websites, but can't find them anymore. I work at a ford dealer, and they are obsolete through ford.

Any ideas?

An ebay one would work as long as it hasnt been compressed right?

I rear ended someone forever ago, the front driver side absorber has been pushed in and it sprung back, but all my body shops are saying once they compress they dont come all the way back out.

Any ideas?
