Impact Absorbers...

Ok. cool. Is there a decent filler or whatever to use to fill in the split and the other more prominent cracks just put in a lil more stability?

I used spray foam to fix some missing chunks of my impact absorbers.

After 8 years of ownership I discovered last winter I do not have that in the from end of my car. It is just not there.
I cannot pay 600€ for that. No idea if the rear one has that too.

It cannot be so hard to make that myself with insulation foam. It only functions as a shock obsorber nothing more/

If I knew what material to use and how to attach it to the plate, Id think about making my own for the front.

I filled some of the big gaps in the real with foam, should be all cured tomorrow so I can spray the sealer on it.

If I was going to make an impact absorber, I'd get measurements from an intact unit and make a form out of waxed cardboard and use two-part foam. I used this type of method when I used to work as a taxidermist. It would be very easy and cost a helluva lot less than $600.

Here's a pretty good example:

I dont know how to make molds or anything like that...and mine would be useless as a template...lol

You still have the issue of the plate that holds the absorber...mine is fine (a little bent, but it would be usable), but I'd think most who need new absorbers, probably have damaged plates..or none at all.

But, yeah, Im sure they could be produced for alot less than $600
