We had a slight impact from another car on the rear bumper.

There was no apparant damage, but the impact was enough to "exercise" the rear bumper shock absorbers.

Are they good for more that one impact, or are they a "one time" design ???

they will be fine, but if you are going through insurance, take the extra precaution to have an authorized mechanic take a look at it.

Thanks !!! I think I'll just let it go...

Bigdot

by law, the cars should be able to take a 3mph hit with 0 problems. ive bumped harder than that when learning about spacial relations in a parking lot!

JunoJim

LOL !!!

I noticed you're a member of the MB Gun Club & Anger Club - good going !!!

You'll love this...

Remember the old spring powered dart gun with a suction cup, that would stick to a fridge, window, etc ???

Every driver should be armed with one that shoots day glow red, orange, whatever darts. Then, when some idiot does something stupid, instead of blowing their head off (which they deserve), you shoot a dart that sticks to their car.

This way, you can release pent up anger, and tag the idiot for other drivers to see, or, if they get tagged and notice it, they have to stop and get out to remove the dart...

haha, that's good! but i think in CA, that is assault with a deadly weapon! they get you for anything over here

JunoJim

Geez - I guess if you scare somebody, it's illegal...

I was going to try it, but maybe I should see what my local police think of the idea - probably not good, but it would be fun...

Bigdot

let us know what the local PD says!

I was rear ended last year. The car behind me was rammed by a drunk driver and he slid into me. I had some minor cracks to my rear fender that was replaced but aside from that the MB techs said the bumper absorbers were fine and just replaced the outer plastic fairing (or bumper cover in car terms lol) They let me keep the original cover....sitting in the shop...waiting to be fixed then sold.
