2013 Zetec S - Rear bumper/diffuser wobble

Featured Replies

Hello everyone!

Has anyone got any play in their rear bumper? Mine has recently had the bumper off by the dealer to seal the air vents, but now if i push on the lower rear quarter of the bumper it moves a bit, about 2cm backwards and forwards.

Can someone with a zetec s please go and give theirs a wobble to see it does the same?

I've tried tightening the bolts up in the wheel arch but still has some movement. I really don't want it to fall off at high speeds :rolleyes:

Appreciate your assistance as always!

There are two plastic push clips that tend to snap after a while. I had this last month and noticed a hell of a wobble, as youre describing.

if you get your head under the rear bumper (lying on your back) you will see at your 10 oclock and 2 oclock where the bumper arms meet the chassis an you will see where the clips are meant to go. ebay sell x20 for £1.50 posted so youll have spares.

Hope this helps!

You're a good man, Tom!

Thanks very much for this, I'll get under my car when I'm home from work :-)
