Your Nissan's bumper system has a handful of hardworking parts that help it absorb impact energy from low-speed collisions. The "bumper" that you see is just a cosmetic piece, but behind it, your vehicle has a bumper impact bar, bumper impact absorber, and several mounting brackets to keep your bumper securely held in place.
Your Nissan Bumper Impact Bar is a metal piece that helps spread out impact energy in a collision. If your vehicle is struck somewhere on one of its bumpers, the Bumper Impact Bar can absorb and effectively diffuse some of the impact energy into other parts of your vehicle frame that are made to collapse in a way that can protect vehicle occupants (these are referred to as "crush points"). The Bumper Impact Bar can also lessen the force that the driver and passengers are subjected to in a crash.

You need to replace the Bumper Impact Bar completely make sure your bumpers and vehicle frame can respond as they're supposed to in a crash.
