A bump stop is pretty simple, really. It’s a little cushion, usually made of rubber or polyurethane, that limits how far your suspension can compress. It stops the suspension from bottoming out – basically, from hitting the absolute limit of its travel. It absorbs that final bit of impact, preventing damage. Some are just a simple block, others are a bit more complex with internal structures. Think of it like this: your springs and shocks do most of the work soaking up bumps and dips in the road. But every now and then you hit something bigger—a pothole, a speed bump taken a little too fast—and those components are getting close to their limit. That's where the bump stop steps in. It’s the last line of defense. It’s usually located as part of the strut assembly, right where the piston rod is about to fully compress into the body. Without a good bump stop, you can damage a lot of expensive parts. You could bend the shock absorber itself, or even damage the strut mount or other suspension components. You’ll notice if it’s gone or really worn out, usually as a harsh bottoming out sound when you go over a bump. It doesn’t necessarily mean you need to replace the whole strut assembly, often just the bump stop itself is enough. Fixparts Online has a good selection of these if you're looking to order, and they're generally pretty straightforward to replace when you’re doing other front – end work. Basically, it’s a cheap part that can save you from a very expensive repair down the road. Buy risk-free: Bump Stop (MPN 17288) is covered by a 3 year manufacturer guarantee!
