Buffers are basically these rubber or plastic pieces that go between different parts of the car body, or between the body and the frame. They absorb shock and vibration, and prevent things from rattling or banging together. They come in a lot of shapes and sizes, depending on where they’re used – sometimes they’re small blocks, other times longer strips. They aren’t always super obvious, often hidden from view. Think of it like this: everything on your car is moving, even when you’re stopped. The engine vibrates, the suspension bounces, and the body flexes. These little buffers act like a cushion, preventing metal – on – metal contact. They’re used in suspension systems, engine mounts, where body panels connect, and a whole bunch of other places. They help isolate vibration and dampen noise, so things don't transfer and amplify. If a buffer fails, you’ll usually notice it as a clunking or rattling sound, particularly when going over bumps. It might start small, but it’ll get worse. More importantly, that constant vibration can actually damage other parts over time. It’s like a shield protecting other components. Ignoring a worn buffer can lead to bigger, more expensive repairs down the road. A failing engine mount buffer, for instance, can put stress on other components and eventually lead to major engine damage. You can find a wide selection of these, and pretty much any other part you need, at places like Fixparts Online, but getting the right one for your specific car is key.
