Anyone know how the rear bumper on 308s is adjusted." Mine sags v/ slightly on near side and was wondering if there is any way it can be moved. Thanks Steve!

Re: 308 bumper height
your ' sagging ' bumper will be the result of a broken bumper mount on that side, you need to take off the chrome, this will give access to the fixing/adjusting bolt
the issue is the adjusting bolt and the mount are differing metals and corrode badly , then when trying to adjust the bolt breaks off , giving a sagging bumper, and it probably moves up and down as well
only real fix is to remove the bumper and install new mounts, about £40 each , and you will need two of them ,
then when the bumper is put back on you can make it fit perfectly
