NISSAN 85030-VB000 Right Bumper Reinforcement

This genuine Nissan (SKU: 85030-VB000) right-side bumper reinforcement is a premium-quality OEM component that plays a critical role in maintaining the vehicle's structural integrity and passive safety.

Function and Importance

The primary function of the bumper reinforcement is to absorb and evenly dissipate impact energy in the event of a collision. This minimizes damage to the chassis structure, sensitive components within the engine compartment, and the passenger cabin. The right-side reinforcement aligns precisely with the vehicle's factory mounting points, ensuring proper support and positioning of the bumper cover.

Technical Specifications

• Manufacturer: NISSAN (Genuine OEM)
• OEM Part Number: 85030-VB000
• Fitting Position: Right
• Product Type: Bumper reinforcement / reinforcement bar
• Material: High-tensile steel alloy with corrosion-resistant surface treatment

Signs of Damage or Wear

Because the reinforcement is located behind the bumper cover, damage is often visible only upon inspection or after removing the bumper. The most common reasons for replacement include:

• Mechanical Deformation: The reinforcement can bend following minor fender benders or collisions, which compromises its structural strength.
• Corrosion: Rust caused by moisture, mud, and winter road salt, which thins the material over time.
• Damaged Mounting Points: Broken or cracked bolt threads and mounting tabs, preventing secure installation of the bumper.

A damaged or deformed bumper reinforcement cannot perform its energy-absorbing function in a subsequent collision; therefore, it must be replaced promptly to ensure passenger safety.
