my dad has an 02 saleen mustang, n the front bumper doesnt seem very sturdy..was wonderin if all mustangs do that..like at night u can tell the bumper is like bouncin up n down n rattling because the headlights move up n down...but it doesnt make any noise

could it be the bumper support?

on the bottom edge of the front bumper there should be a few plastic tabs securing it to the lower radiator support. between them and the mounting tabs that slide in right under the head ligts there are very few mounitng points. Two screws where bumper meets fender, one screw per wheel well, and the 4-6 arount the grille. I pulled mine off to fit a cobra R front end. best bet is also to pull the front bumper off and see if the foam bumpers are in there, the mustang front ends get jumpy without them.

hope it helps

That's odd. I posted in here and it never shows up?

Anyway, I said that I agree. Mustang bumpers don't rattle like that. It's definitely not normal. You or someone needs to check that out ASAP.
