shock snubber height?, need bump stop measurement Options

[rascobo]

Does anyone know the length of the strut/shock bump stops?

The last time I had new Sh&St's installed it appears they left them off, and I ended up with a broken strut insert.

Bought new set of Bilstiens, arrived without needed snubbers. Cust. service tells me if I'll get them the length they'll send me something for the rears. and said that the fronts were built into the insert,
Can anyone confirm that as I'm a little leery, being they didn't initially know what bump stops were. Sorry for the long post.

That measurement was off a stock snubber. A good percentageof the cars I have fixed, taken apart, junked or otherwise have had these on both inserts, along with a plastic white washer with slots in it.

The washer apparently releases air as the snubber compresses.

Reported to save a shock on a severe bump.

In racing production cars, we would cut the down in length for two purposes. One we lowered the car and had to adjust contact point. Two it would reduce a tendency of suspension deflection oscillation with a full bouncy rubber.

Anyway, that's how I remember it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif)
