I recall reading about some of the adjustments Quality Control guys made at the end of the assembly line. Bumper wasn't quite right, a couple of whacks with a big piece of lumber (covered with carpet on one end) did the trick? I suspect even brand new bumpers must've had some variation to them.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world.

Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
