I'm pretty sure that when I installed the new shock/spring setup, the shocks did not come with bump stops. Now, if I hit a decent size pothole, it sounds like the shocks are really taking a beating (you hear a loud 'thump'). This happens about once a week... Would getting bump stops reduce the chance of that happening?
Also, would I have to take the shocks off the car (and take the springs off too) in order to put the bump stops in? I'm thinking it might be cheaper to wait until I have to change the shocks altogether so I don't pay twice for labor... What do you guys think? *edit: I found a site that sells these http://www.resuspension.com/Bump-Stops-p-1-c-92.html you'll have to scroll down a bit to see them, but I have no idea what size I need... Anyone know??? This post has been edited by Rider: May 24, 2008 - 11:39 AM |

Having the same issue with my teins. I've been thinking this might be b/c of the extra weight of V6 though...
