The previous owner of my 1974 164E must have backed over a bollard and then got hung up on it or something.
There is no damage to the outside of the bumper but the fuel tank I replaced had a dent in the bottom and the right side of the bumper was pulled out about six inches or so past normal.
The sacrificial welds on the sleeve were broken and I removed the bumper and tapped the sleeve forward to where the welds seemed to be located until I could have it re-welded.
A Volvo mechanic commented that my bumper was too far in. He did not provide any further information.
The rear segment moves by hand and I can hear it clunk when I go over bumps.
Could someone tell me how far the inner sleeve extends past the outer sleeve mount at the welds?
Thanks!
