Purpose and Vehicle Placement

The presented bracket is designed for installation in the front – left side area, where it is responsible for the proper support and positioning of the fender relative to the front bumper reinforcement.

• reduce unwanted play and vibrations in the area of the front bumper and covers,
• facilitate the correct alignment of gaps between body elements,
