Attach BUMP STOPS

Featured Replies

Hi all

What has everyone been using to put the bump stops

back on??

Do I need to put the bump stops back on??

 

Thanks

i'd suggest that you be more specific. i'm guessing that you have a 1985 or later sedan or wagon, and are talking about the rear suspension bump stops?

 

we'd need to know why yours are off. did you remove them? i've had a bump stop rust off for instance. too much info is better than not enough :D

HMMMM...didn't think of that.

The car: 89 GL Wagon, dual range 4whl drive

 

the rear bump stops, large, bullet shaped rubber things, fell off due to rust. Car was being worked on at the time so i have both stops, just wondering how to put them back on, or if i should even worry about it.

 

Thanks

Either put them back on, OR install regular WRX bump stops in the rear damper/spring package.

The question was HOW to put them back on??????????????

 

What does one use to re-attach them to the plates???

 

They were obviously "glued" on originally, but what do we use to "reglue" them?? rubber cement? the bleack silicone adhesive stuff, what works best?????

Throw them in the garbage and smile :) Problem solved !_!

i had one on the hood of my car as a rino horn, for about 4 months with orange silicone. but somebody sat on it and it broke off :brow:

 

i think the key would be to get both surfaces very clean, and use something thats made for rubber, and metal. i bet windshield adhesive would work good. the stuff to install a windshield, not the stuff to seal up a poorly installed one. or leave em out unless you offroad, or carry alot of weight

unless you plan on jumping your car or carrying v8s in the back, chuck em.
