madkow007 Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baccaruda Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madkow007 Posted August 18, 2004 Author Share Posted August 18, 2004 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.

WJM Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Either put them back on, OR install regular WRX bump stops in the rear damper/spring package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartless Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 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?????

archemitis Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 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 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
