Setup and Installation
Tools Required:
- Socket Wrench Set
- Screwdriver Set
- Pry Tool (optional, for trim removal)
- Work Light
Pre-Installation Steps:
- Park the Volvo VNL semi-truck on a flat, stable surface.
- Engage the parking brake and chock the wheels.
- Disconnect the negative terminal of the vehicle's battery.
- Carefully remove the existing corner bumpers. This typically involves unscrewing bolts and clips that secure them to the truck frame. Disconnect any wiring for fog lights if present.
Installation Procedure:
- Inspect New Bumpers: Before installation, carefully inspect both new TORQUE corner bumpers for any shipping damage or manufacturing defects.
- Prepare for Mounting: Position the new bumper near the installation area. If reusing existing fog lights, install them into the fog light holes of the new bumper now.
- Align and Secure: Carefully align the mounting studs and holes of the new corner bumper with the corresponding points on the truck frame.

- Fasten Bumper: Secure the bumper using the appropriate bolts, nuts, and clips. Ensure all fasteners are tightened to the manufacturer's specifications. Do not overtighten.
- Connect Fog Lights (if applicable): If fog lights were installed, reconnect their wiring harnesses. Ensure connections are secure and properly insulated.
- Repeat for Other Side: Follow the same steps for the opposite corner bumper.
- Final Checks: Once both bumpers are installed, visually inspect for proper fitment and ensure all connections are secure.
- Reconnect Battery: Reconnect the negative terminal of the vehicle's battery.
- Test Functionality: Turn on the vehicle's lights and test the fog lights to ensure they are functioning correctly.

Operating Information
These corner bumpers are designed to integrate seamlessly with your Volvo VNL semi-truck's existing structure. The integrated fog light holes allow for the installation and use of compatible fog lights, enhancing visibility in adverse weather conditions. Ensure fog lights are correctly wired and functioning according to vehicle specifications.
Maintenance
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the bumpers regularly with mild soap and water to remove dirt, grime, and road salt. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the ABS plastic material.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the bumpers for any signs of damage, cracks, or loose fasteners. Address any issues promptly to maintain structural integrity and safety.
- Fog Light Check: Regularly check the functionality of the fog lights and their wiring connections. Replace any burnt-out bulbs or damaged wiring as needed.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues:
- Poor Fitment: If the bumper does not align correctly, re-check the vehicle compatibility and ensure all mounting points are free of obstructions or debris. Verify that the correct left/right bumper is being installed on the corresponding side.
- Loose Bumper: Ensure all mounting bolts and clips are securely tightened. Over time, vibrations can loosen fasteners, requiring periodic re-tightening.
- Fog Lights Not Working: Check the wiring connections to the fog lights. Verify that bulbs are not burnt out and that the vehicle's fuse for the fog lights is intact.
If issues persist after attempting these troubleshooting steps, it is recommended to seek assistance from a professional automotive technician.
