My near side rear bump stop fell apart a while ago, but now the piece of rubber which came off underneath the plastic shield has worn away and it makes knocking noises whilst driving.

I have ordered a new bump stop from the main dealers and am willing to fit it myself as I have a reasonable knowledge of cars. Could anybody help me out with the process I need to go through to change it?

I believe first I need to remove the wheel arch liner and then undo some bolts (not sure which) after this I am a little unsure of what I need to do.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.

Done now, surprisingly simple!

Glad we can help lol

how easyly did the top mount come off the shock?

I had a failed shock and tried to swap myself but my mate had to use his press to remove it 2tonne i think it needed

A bit of a pain, as I didn't have a ring spanner. Through help from my dad, incorrect spanner and a pair of mole grips it came off with a good bit of determination :p
