Bumper Mounts

The bumper mounts on the end of the frame rails for the front bumper are supposed to be perpendicular to the frame, correct (not slanted). I hit a deer with my Excursion a couple weeks ago. Insurance adjuster put together an estimate with the Ford dealer. I told my insurance agent I'd do the work. I got the new bumper partially mounted and the bumper mounts are our of whack and the bumper isn't properly lining up with the grill/headlights on the passenger side. The bumper is a brand new Ranch Hand Legend. The EX is also sporting a 2007 style grill and headlights!

Have the adjuster reinspect; there is more damage than what you were compensated for.

Yep, it needs a little quality time on the frame machine to square that front back up.

Thanks everyone! I thought that was the case, but I wanted to verify before sending an email to my insurance agent.
