Bumper Bracket Guide
Why bumper brackets are the highest-frequency hidden crash part in the workshop, how the LH/RH and position variants are numbered, and what the SLCHN Excellent Quality bracket series covers.
Why Brackets Move So Fast
In almost every front or rear impact, the bumper cover flexes and the brackets behind it snap — they are designed to. A repair that reuses cracked brackets leaves the new bumper loose at the wheel-arch line, so professional shops replace brackets on every bumper job. Result: brackets outsell bumper covers several times over.
They are also the cheapest part on the invoice, which is exactly why availability matters more than price: a missing two-dollar bracket holds up a two-hundred-dollar repair, and the bay stays occupied either way.
Reading Bracket Numbers
Brackets are handed and positioned: FR or RR, upper, lower or side, long or short. HD numbers the pair 71190 (LH) and 71140 (RH) upper front; TY uses 52535 / 52536 for front side and 52575 / 52576 for rear; NS uses 62222 / 62223 front and 85220 / 85221 rear.
This catalog lists each hand as its own line with its own photo, so LH/RH mix-ups are caught at ordering rather than at the counter.
The Excellent Quality Series
The bracket program covers HD City 2017, CR-V 2010 and 2017, HR-V 2016, KA Picanto 2017, TY Fortuner 2011, Land Cruiser 2007, Yaris 2020, Yaris Cross 2020, Rush / Terios, NS March 2010 and Qashqai J12 2022.
All are injection moulded in glass-filled PP matched to the original and batch fit-checked on jigs. See the full list with OEM numbers on the series page.
