Reply With QuoteI have the same problem on where the bumper joins the front left quater panel. The car was hit from that side and i guess they never repared it properly.
If you get it fixed can you let me know how you did it if it was a DIY job.

I think my front bumper has got the same issue, taken a hit and broken the brackets, might see if i can source some more at some stage.

Yes, this seems to be a very common prob
my car has the same ,
I have had a a bit of success by adjusting the bolts that hold the bumper to the crumple rail as they seem to loose tension.
I would think that the bumper & its mounting system are part of the crumple zone
I think it is caused by parking mishaps, when another car just pushes against the bumper & bends the bracket slightly
You can slip a washer or some other form of spacer between the bracket & inside of the rail, but you are limited by the lenght of the bolt to how much you can gain back
& you get access to do this by removing the blinker
