Wow your bumper did a good job, im on my 2nd chrome bumper, they all were sub 10MPH accidents. These bumpers just flatten out like pancakes. Maybe Check your engine carrge bolts for any marks that look like your engine shifted. check for stress cracks/bending around frame/engine mounts. Good luck! Phil 84' Westy, Tiico'ed
