GT350 Bumper Sag Fix

[GTP]

I didn't realize this was a thing until I came into this thread.

Are you saying a 1mm gap is worth pursuing to fix? I have a couple sizes of those metal U clips on hand...

Guess it depends on how picky you are, but…yeah!

I hate being OCD. Truly wish the little things didnt bother me, but yep I’ll drill an un-seeable hole to fix a 1-2mm gap From what I’ve read it mainly affects the GT350 due to how the diffuser reacts to the airflow. I could be dead wrong, but thats what fellow auto-nerds have said.

Hi all, I have a deposit down on an Avalanche gray GT350 ~11k miles on the car. It has some bumper sag from a video I got from the owner. Is this something I can fix by taking the rear light out, and placing two screws into the black plastic underneath? Seems like a crude fix, but I’m seeing positive reports from doing so.

This link I included the TSB for the Shelby GT350 rear bumper sag, the article may help for any S550:

The 2018+ rear bumper redesign also incorporated screws found at the upper L and R top corners, under the taillights. This was a Ford assembly line fix to prevent the rear bumper sag.

This thread here goes into some better details on a DIY with how screws placed in similar spots can also correct the rear bumper sag (with pics and courtesy of @RevyDSM):

Nope, it’s on the GT’s too (so I also assume the EB)

I’m fairly sure it’s an assembly line quirk, as based on the cars I see over here it’s typically the right side that shows it / or that’s worse if they are both doing it …

It’s understandable that the Shelby’s and Mach’s could be a little worse due to the extra weight hanging off it.

37,000 miles (and the BiRds from ArcheType) and going strong. Works like a champ. Zero regrets.

I used a floor jack to hold the bumper/skin back firmly in place and then drove the screws in at such an angle it pulled upwards on the skin once tight.

Galaxy, this still holding strong? I want to fix mine

Yup. Holding perfect. 40,000 miles next weekend. It literally has not moved since this mod.
