CA Impact Bumpers on 76 Duster

[Pana.Mopar]

Hi All,

My 76 Duster has CA Impact Bumpers. I just took delivery of the vehicle a few weeks ago and am having the vehicle re-painted. Are these Impact Bumpers easy to remove? I take it new brackets are needed to mount the bumpers to the chassis. Anyone have easy solution into replacing the bumpers back to where they should be???

Does this help you any? http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=43541

Pana.Mopar are you asking about modifying the shock-impact 5mph bumpers that stick-out from the body? They can be moved closer to the body without too much trouble. You just need to take apart the shock part of the mount, and remove the spring and oil inside. Then put them back together so they are at full compression (the two parts as close together as they go). Then just weld the two parts together for each side and reinstall on the car. I think I have some pics of when I did this if that would help.

Yes pictures would be nice. I'm going to do this to my 75. Thanks Mike
