  • bump stop

    im changing my shocks and spring in the next couple of wks and i was checking out how to do it myself and i saw my bump stop and they are jacked up chunks missing very bad but anyways i checked gmdirectparts and they have some for about 37 each but my question is are they the same left and right? i cant really tell since mine are not in the best shape and when i click on both they 4 to my cart which is weird.

    if anyone can tell me they are the same left to right that way i can order them thanks!

    You can get poly ones from Strano that are considerably cheaper.

            You've got to trim a little metal tab off during install, but it takes all of 2 seconds to do that.

                  Strano also had the stock ones last I checked too. For anyone else interested.

                    Not to thread jack, but I need new stops as well - is there a big benefit to the poly ones?

                      Poly won't crack and fall to pieces after a few years.

                        In the extreme compressed state, the factory bump stops essentially add to the spring rate to progressively absorb the bump as it compresses, whereas the poly has much less give and could present poor handling characteristics in more extreme situations. The bump stops are a more active part of the suspension than you might think, and come into contact with the axle on even relatively mild bumps, so I would suggest sticking to stock. Strano even mentions drilling holes in the polyurethane bump stops to reduce the rigidity and act more like the factory stops.
