ABSTRACT:
A bumper subassembly includes first and second brackets which are removably attached to an impact beam by removable fasteners installed between the brackets and the beam. The brackets of the bumper subassembly are then subsequently welded to the frame rails so that the bumper subassembly becomes welded to the vehicle frame rails in the assembly plant but removal of the removable fasteners permits subsequent disassembly of the impact beam from the brackets to permit repair of the vehicle. The impact beam is preferably a closed tubular beam having a support wall, and first and second openings are provided in the support wall which receive reinforcing portions provided integrally on the brackets. Clearance holes are provided in the support wall to provide access to the bracket for making the spot weld between the bracket and the frame rail.
