It's common for the bumper mounting points to be bent whenever the 
bumpers are pushed on; nothing under there is particularly strong.

The first time my car was hit from the rear I welded up a heavy 
little plate that could be bolted on where the bumper goes and that 
the body shop people could hook their frame machine to. If you still 
have your old bumper brackets, they could be used or adapted.
