olie05 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I forgot to order the bumpstops from victoria british and I am going to put all my bushings in (and tokico illuminas) in the front suspension, So instead of having to wait to order some, or leave them out all together, or take apart my suspension again... I was wondering if there was something out there to make bumpstops out of. Something probably available at homedepot or lowes. anyone have any ideas? -Oliver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxilary Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 go to a local autoshop with a strut in hand and see if they have any energy suspension bumpstops you can use and cut if necessary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olie05 Posted August 5, 2005 Author Share Posted August 5, 2005 i already took a peek at what pepboys and autozone had in the "performance suspension" section and i didn't see anything that even resembled a bump-stop, except for the jeep kind, where its attached to the chassis and limits the travel of the control arm. This is what i'm trying to make... but i didn't find at autozone or pep boys... http://store.summitracing.com/default.asp?Ntt=springs&Ntk=KeywordSearch&DDS=1&searchinresults=false&N=0&target=egnsearch.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Don't know about the US but here suspension shops sell generic type bump stops, I assume you are talking about the ones that slip over the strut insert shaft. Alternatively, something like a rubber shock absorber eye bush could be used, not much give though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 go to smileys off of sawdust rd olie... they sell bushings last time i was there. most of the bump stop bushings i saw there looked like it would work. if u dont wanna do that i can order some stock ones for ya tomorrow, and ill have them for ya monday or maybe even sat. also check with o-reillys.. they carry stuff like that, mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzzzzzz Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Pepboys sells a generic strut boot with the bumpstop in the box. It is a two-piece item (Monroe?). You can leave the boot off if desired. I prefer the KYB one-piece but they weren't available when I needed them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
