I got rear ended but the damage is minor enough where it is just contained to the bumper. My shop told me that they would replace the bumper and bumper shocks for $560.00. I was wondering, is it easy enough for me to do it myself? I never done body work but it doesn't look like it's that hard. The insurance company cut me a check for more than enough, but saving money is always good. What do you think?

 

It depends on which car you've got, I replaced my 240's bumper shocks myself, it was a snap with a friend to help with lifting the thing. (I spun out and ran into a telephone pole backwards in the snow. The steel I-beam that Volvo called a bumper back in the seventies was fine but the shocks died.)

 

Sorry....I forgot to include my car....I have a 1990 240 Volvo DL Sedan.

I googled to try and find the parts. I can only find the bumper cover, I can't find the bumper shocks or other bumper parts I may need. Wish I could find everything together.

 

777- you need a good u pull it junkyard. Ours has bumper special days- 15$ (fenders 15, doors 25) Do it yourself- what do you have to lose? only a bit of knuckle skin. Dave

The best way to learn how to put something on is to go to the junkyard and pull one. Then you will know what tools are necessary and all you have to do is reverse your previous procedure (and tighten things down correctly).
