Why Brackets Move So Fast
In almost every front or rear impact, the bumper cover flexes and the brackets behind it snap — they are designed to. A repair that reuses cracked brackets leaves the new bumper loose at the wheel-arch line, so professional shops replace brackets on every bumper job. Result: brackets outsell bumper covers several times over.
They are also the cheapest part on the invoice, which is exactly why availability matters more than price: a missing $2 bracket holds up a $200 repair.
Reading Bracket Numbers
Brackets are handed and positioned: FR / RR, upper / lower / side, long / short. HD numbers the pair 71190 (LH) / 71140 (RH) upper front; TY uses 52535/52536 (front side) and 52575/52576 (rear); NS 62222/62223 (front) and 85220/85221 (rear). Our catalog lists each hand as its own line with its own photo, so LH/RH mix-ups are caught at ordering.
