Shock absorbers


Recommended Posts

If your car bottoms out the suspension,on like a real bumpy road,the bump stop stops the shock absorber being over compressed.

It limits the travel on the shock absorber.

These are the bump stops and damper covers http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SKODA-FABIA-1-2-1-4-1-6-1-9D-2-REAR-SHOCK-ABSORBER-PROTECTORS-BUMP-STOP-KITS-/330748356618?fits=Car+Make%3ASkoda%7CModel%3AFabia&hash=item4d0223680a:m:mwizKvlXPkGtagpaaEL91RA

 

The bump stops tend to fall apart, and since they also serve to hold the damper rod covers up, this is what happens...
