If you're like most drivers, you probably don't think much about your car's bumpers. But if you ever need to adjust them, it's good to know how. Here's a step-by-step guide to adjusting the bumpers on a 2004 Chevy Silverado:
1. Park your Silverado on level ground and set the parking brake.
2. Locate the two adjustment bolts on the back of each bumper. These are usually located near the top of the bumper, but they can vary depending on your model and year.
3. Use a wrench to loosen the bolts, but don't remove them completely.
4. Place a block of wood or another sturdy object under one side of the bumper that you're raising. This will prevent the bumper from dropping suddenly when you loosen the adjustment bolts too much.
5. Raise or lower the side of the bumper until it's at the desired height, then tighten the bolts back down securely. Repeat this process on the other side until both bumpers are properly adjusted.
