OEM Audi Bumpers Online

When most people think of the bumpers on their Audi car or SUV, they think of the protective shields at the front and rear. That makes sense. After all, they absorb the energy generated in a collision, reducing the impact's effect on you and any passengers riding along. They also help to limit the severity of any pedestrian injuries that could have been caused by your vehicle's body or any other parts.

Most modern bumpers are made of either acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) or polycarbonate (PC). Some have a reinforcement bar behind the bumper cover. That bar can be made of steel, fiberglass, aluminum, or plastic. Depending on your vehicle and the type of drive you prefer, bumper size can also make a serious difference. Smaller bumpers are more aerodynamic and can help improve fuel efficiency. Larger bumpers with greater overhang are useful when you're driving rough terrain, since they help protect essential parts.

Other Types of Bumpers

The thing is, there are also other bumpers on your vehicle. Hinges, jounces, struts, and hoods all rely on bumpers to soften impacts.

Genuine Audi Bumpers Protect Best

Due to the nature of their role, your bumpers will eventually begin to show signs of wear and tear. While bumpers don't have a specific lifespan, there's one thing to consider. If yours is in danger of coming completely off, you need to replace it as soon as possible. It's not safe to drive with a detached or dangling bumper; it may even be illegal where you live. Otherwise, replacing your bumper is a matter of personal taste.

When you do choose to replace your old bumpers, make sure that you select the right ones for your vehicle. Audi makes their bumpers to fit the precise dimensions of their cars and SUVs, so you can trust that they'll fit your model. Find yours in our online auto parts department.
