Volvo Bumper Impact Bar Bracket - Genuine Volvo 31416224

Product Information

A bumper impact bar bracket is a structural mounting component that secures the bumper impact bar (also called a reinforcement bar or crash bar) to the vehicle’s frame or body. The impact bar itself absorbs and distributes energy during a collision, while the bracket ensures it stays properly positioned and aligned.

• Loose or misaligned bumper – bumper may sag or sit unevenly due to weakened brackets.
• Rattling or vibration noises – bracket damage allows movement of the bumper assembly.
• Reduced crash protection – compromised mounting weakens the effectiveness of the impact bar in an accident.

About Genuine Volvo

The original parts used by Volvo to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Volvo” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Volvo, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Volvo Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Volvo are not necessarily manufactured by Volvo. No cause for concern, as Volvo designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Volvo for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Volvo parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Volvo logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
