low rumbling noise is now gone so that is good. Looks like I will need to replace the front bushings in the tension rods, I guess 100K miles on michigan roads wasnt to bad out of them

I pulled it apart and the metal bumper support (the piece that the plastic bumper cover is directly attached to) is bent. Does anyone know if that metal piece is the same for all cars, or did the OEM hitch kit come with a different piece? RealOEM only has one listed but pictures on eBay look a tad bit different than mine. (I have the OEM hitch btw) BTW: the good news is no frame or hitch damage.

Looks like the hitch version is different... And I can't even find a part number for it, much less find one on eBay or CL. Might have to just try to bend mine back.

Piece of metal you can't see? Definitely just bend it back.

If I can... It is pretty heavy gauge steel. It was pressed around the big mounting through-bolt.

Start a thread about it and send pictures. I’m sure I would be able to figure out a way.

I spent a couple of hours on it but was able to pry it somewhat back into position. And by leaving a few of the plastic fasteners off, it attached to the wheel well just fine. Bullet dodged! Because I am pretty sure I would have to buy a whole nother hitch kit to replace that piece.

The reason for sale is my wife never drives it as she curbed both NEW front wheels the first time she did.

It was definitely worth your while bending it back.. I bet a little heat would help, though it sounds like you have it. People have been able to modify a stock bumper support bar with a grinder to get it to fit with the OEM Hitch.
