Sounds just like checking that a load is properly secured to a roof rack. If you pull back and forth on the load and the load moves relative to the car, start over. If the car moves on its springs, drive it a couple of miles and check again.
With FRC bumpers, I would recommend ramming a brick wall a couple of times, both head on and at an angle. Better to break it at home when you have a few days or at least hours to fix it than at competition when you have minutes.
