These are pretty straightforward. They’re basically a cushion, made of rubber, that limits how far your suspension can compress. They absorb the shock when your suspension reaches the end of its travel—like when you hit a big bump or pothole. They help prevent damage to other components. Think of it like this: your shocks and springs do a great job of controlling the up and down movement, but they can only go so far. The rubber buffer is the last line of defense. It’s positioned to stop the suspension before it bottoms out and potentially damages things like the strut itself, or even parts of the frame. It’s usually mounted on the strut itself, or somewhere along the suspension’s upward travel limit. Well, without these, every big bump would send a jolt right through your suspension and into the chassis. They act like a shield, protecting more expensive parts. You’ll notice if one goes bad because you’ll get a pretty harsh, jarring feeling when going over bumps, and it can also cause clunking sounds. Ignoring a bad buffer can lead to damage to your struts, springs, or even the vehicle’s frame, which is a much bigger, more costly repair. You can find these pretty easily – Fixparts Online carries a good selection, and they’re not too difficult to replace if you’re a little handy, or you can have a shop take care of it.
