About part number 31455676

A rear bumper middle bracket is a structural support component within the bodywork system. It secures the central section of the rear bumper shell to the rear chassis or crossmember of the vehicle. When this part is working correctly, the rear bumper remains firmly aligned, maintaining correct panel gaps and preventing the bumper cover from sagging, vibrating, or rattling while driving.

To confirm that this part is correct for your vehicle, match the part number 31455676 directly against the number stamped on your original bracket. Original equipment numbers on plastic or metal bumper mountings are usually stamped into the surface of the moulding. Matching the exact part number is the only way to guarantee correct fitment.

These brackets are usually replaced after a rear-end impact, as the plastic tabs and mounting points break easily to absorb energy. When replacing a damaged bracket, you will often need replacement plastic rivet clips, bolts, or surrounding support guides that may have snapped during collision or removal.

About this kind of part: brackets and mountings

A bracket is the moulded or pressed part that holds a panel, a lamp or a bumper to the body of the car. It is hidden once everything is assembled, and it is designed to break: the bracket is cheap and the panel it carries is not, so in a light knock the bracket gives way first and takes the energy. That is why a car with no visible damage often still needs them, and why they are replaced far more often than the parts they hold.

Why people replace one

  • A low-speed knock has snapped the bracket while leaving the panel it holds undamaged.
  • A panel sits proud, droops at one end, or has a gap that will not close, because the bracket behind it has cracked.
  • A rattle or a creak over bumps, where a broken bracket is letting a panel move against the body.
  • The bracket was broken during a previous repair, taking a bumper or a lamp off, and never replaced.
  • A lamp or a panel has been held on with tape, glue or a repair plate and the proper part is wanted.

Fitting it

  • Most brackets are reached only with the panel they carry removed, so the job is usually done at the same time as the panel comes off anyway.
  • They are held by screws, plastic nuts or clips into the body, and the fasteners are often broken on removal and worth having to hand.
  • A bracket sets the position of the panel in front of it, so the panel gaps are worth checking before everything is tightened down.
  • Where a bracket has snapped, look at the body mount behind it as well. The same knock often distorts the metal the bracket screws to.

Making sure it is the right one

  • Match the part number. Brackets are handed, and the two sides of a car take different numbers even where they look like mirror images.
  • A bracket is specific to the panel it carries and to the trim level, so one from a different version of the same model may locate in the body and still hold the panel in the wrong place.
  • Count the fixing points and compare their spacing with the broken part in front of you. This is the quickest check there is.
  • A repair plate is not the same part. If the original has snapped, the proper bracket restores the panel position; a plate holds it wherever it happens to sit.

What to look for in the photographs

A Part number — Moulded or stamped into the body of the bracket. This is the number to match, because handed parts look alike.
B Fixing points — The holes, slots and studs that screw to the body. Count them and compare the spacing with your own part.
C Locating pegs — The pins or tabs that set the panel's position. A sheared peg means the panel will sit wrong even though the bracket bolts up.
D Stress points — The narrow sections and the moulded ribs, where a bracket fails. Look at these rather than at the broad faces.
E Handing — Which way the arms and tabs face. Hold the photograph against your own part rather than judging by the overall shape.
