Front bumper absorber

The Front Bumper Absorber (also known as an impact absorber or crash box) is a crucial safety component mounted between the front bumper cover and the vehicle's main frame rails. Designed as part of the vehicle's crash management system, this energy-absorbing structure compresses during low to moderate impacts to dissipate collision forces, helping protect both vehicle occupants and expensive front-end components (like headlights, sensors, and cooling systems). Typically made from expanded polypropylene (EPP) foam or similar deformable materials, it's engineered to collapse predictably while reducing repair costs compared to structural damage.
