Description

The Corteco 21652147 is a rubber buffer designed for vehicle suspension systems. It is installed within the strut and spring assembly to dampen vibrations and reduce noise, contributing to a smoother and more comfortable ride.

Measuring 60 x 60 x 82 mm and manufactured in China, this part provides reliable shock absorption and enhanced vehicle stability.

Key Features & Benefits

This little guy is basically a cushion. It’s a rubber piece that fits into your strut assembly, and its job is to absorb impacts and vibrations. It limits how much the strut can compress and rebound, controlling movement. It also helps to reduce noise from the suspension traveling into the cabin. Think of it as a key part of your car’s ability to handle bumps and stay stable. It works with the strut and spring. The spring absorbs a lot of the initial impact, but the buffer smooths things out, preventing harsh jarring and keeping everything controlled. It’s tucked up inside the strut assembly, so it's not something you see easily.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Honestly, it’s a wear item, just like brake pads. Over time, with all the road impacts, that rubber deteriorates. It gets compressed, loses its ability to absorb energy, and things start to feel rougher. You’ll notice if it’s gone bad because you’ll get more road noise, a harsher ride, and potentially some instability, especially over bigger bumps. It’s not something that will cause a catastrophic failure immediately, but letting it go can put extra stress on other suspension parts. You can find these pretty easily, places like Fixparts Online carry a good selection. It’s a relatively inexpensive part to replace and can make a big difference in your comfort and handling.
