Okay so these are the last pics I am going to post on this topic before I take it in and get a definitive answer i swear lol! I was able to move a piece hanging down and get clearer pics.
The first pic is where the beam meets the frame...looks to be slightly bent but an easy fix? I know the impact hit the crush beam where it connects to the frame rail b/c the four lug nuts holding the beam onto the frame are crushed through the bumper and sticking out. It was a 2007 fusion that hit me going about 30-40 mph.
The second pic is a profile view behind the bumper (like your looking down a tube)...it looks like the metal edges are bent back a little.
I just want to have as much knowledge about the damage as possible, so if I get any push back from the adjuster to do a proper frame check/repair, I have the knowledge to push back. Thanks for chimig in ard
