As I understand it the bumper is designed to do its job by sustaining irreversible to itself. That is to say, you're better off finding a new bumper, or at least a bumper shock for that side, or else you'll get less that optimal protection next time.

You lucked out-- Toyota-in-bumper (or rather, the repair bill for said condition, since my brick was still perfectly driveable) is what took my '87 745GLE off the streets!
