Purpose and function of the component

The sliding bracket is responsible for guiding and supporting the right side of the rear bumper, stabilizing its position relative to the bodywork. A correctly selected component reduces the risk of play, uneven gaps, and unwanted vibrations, which translates into a consistent appearance of the rear of the vehicle and proper load distribution of the bumper.

Its location in the rear right side area means the bracket operates in a zone exposed to dirt and operational loads, which is why it is essential to use a component with a design consistent with the manufacturer's factory solutions.

Construction and body fitment

The geometry of the bracket has been developed for a specific body line, which enables proper guidance of the bumper edge and its alignment with adjacent panels. Properly positioned mounting points allow for installation in the original body locations without the need for any modifications to the car's structure.

This solution facilitates service, reduces the time required for bodywork and assembly, and helps maintain consistent bumper alignment after any work on the rear of the vehicle.

Benefits of using an original bracket

• Factory mounting geometry for the rear bumper on the right side.
• Stable guidance of the bumper edge and reduction of play.
• Better maintenance of even gaps between body panels.
• Possibility of installation in original body points without modifications.
• Structural consistency with other components in the Bumpers and reinforcements group.

Condition and service application

This used component is a good solution for post-accident repairs, alignment corrections, or replacing a damaged mount after bumper removal. It allows for restoring the correct position of the rear bumper without the need to resort to aftermarket solutions with uncertain geometry.

The bracket is suitable both for local repairs on the right side and for more extensive work in the rear body area, where maintaining the correct bumper line relative to the fenders and the trunk lid is crucial.
