Front Bumper Alignment (Passenger Side)

Hi everyone,

I was just wondering if anyone else here has encountered the same issue I have. I recently noticed that my front bumper does not align flush with the passenger side quarter panel. I recently had my dealer take a look and they said it was within the range of "normal" and there was no adjustment they could make (even though the driver's of the front bumper does align flush with the quarter panel).

Does anyone else have this issue? The dealer did say that something like this could occur if I had bottomed out the front bumper, but they acknowledge that there is no indication that something like that had ever happened.

Below are a few pics: The first 3 are of the area on the passenger side that is out of alignment. The last pic is of the driver side where everything is nicely aligned.

I do believe there is some adjustment there, not much. Peel the fender liner back a bit lossen the 8mm or 10mm bolt thats there, and see if you can draw it in a bit.

Thanks AMFixer. I also assume this is probably a 2 person job; i.e., someone pushes in the bumper while I re-tighten the bolts?

No you should be able to do this yourself. The bolts are at the very ends of the bumper.
