Angry Do any of your front bumpers hang low on one end.?

Ever since i picked up the truck my drivers side is higher than the passenger side. On white it is really noticable.I brought it to the bodyshop and they said it was non adjustable.

Yup....back in October, I had the same problem. They fixed it perfectly. Take it in and get them to straighten it. It is adjustable, there is always some minor adjustment that has to be made to these pieces during final assembly. Mine was off by about 3/4" if you can believe that!

Mine was the same way. My girlfriend said she noticed it when we looked at the truck the day before I got it. But she did not tell me.
Anyway, the dealer fixed it with no problem. I also have a friend with a white one that had the same problem. So it sounds like it might be kind of common.

Mine was way off as well, but ended up adjusting it myself.

The bumper is adjustable. mine was low on passenger side. There are 4 bolts that need to be loosened behind the bumper facia. Back them off a bit, then move it up or down, then re-tighten. It took me only a couple minutes.

A good friend of mine told me it was "typical ford fit and finish" My hood/grill gap was about 1/2" higher on the right than the left. My bumper is also uneven. On a white truck it is really obvious.

Had an ex-girlfriend whose front bumper was a bit lower on one side.
