Your Nissan's bumper system has several major components that help it disperse impact energy from low-speed collisions. The bumper you see on the exterior of your Nissan is actually just a cover, but tucked underneath, you'll find a bumper impact absorber, bumper impact bar, and a mounting system to hold your bumper in place.
On your Nissan, the Bumper Impact Bar is a rigid metal bar that helps spread out impact energy in a crash. If your car is struck somewhere on one of its bumpers, the Bumper Impact Bar may help to absorb and distribute some of the impact energy into the parts of your vehicle frame that are engineered to collapse in a way that can protect vehicle occupants (these are referred to as "crush points"). The Bumper Impact Bar may also help decrease the severity of the shockwave that you and your passengers experience in a collision.
Given that the Bumper Impact Bar is incredibly important for crash safety, you definitely should not attempt to repair a broken bar. Install a new Bumper Impact Bar instead make sure your bumpers and vehicle frame can perform as they're supposed to in a roadway collision. Trust your vehicle's OEM, Nissan, for a new Bumper Impact Bar that's tailor-made for the exact dimensions of your Nissan. Bring your vehicle to your nearest Nissan authorized dealer or service site for expert repairs and advice.
