I'm planning to start the repair of the deer damage to the front of my 05 vibe soon. It looks to be a very simple repair as I was told in my original deer damage post. I will have to (repair?) what I would call the passenger side front frame rail extender. It appears to be pushed into the frame rail approx. 0.5 0.75 inches further than the drivers side unit. I'm guessing these frame rail extenders are used to enable mounting various different fascias onto the Corolla frame.
Does anyone know what this part is actually called? And does it just extend the frame a fixed amount by being bolted in place or does it have a cushioning function of some sort for the front bumper? Do I need a new one? Or just rebuild and re-bolt in position? Thanks for any help you can offer!
