Hi,
Got the car it bits at the moment. Not sure if I'm putting the rear suspension together properly [:o]
Rear suspension all came apart ok, top spring mount in good condition, old bump stop is goosed;

I've got a Bug pack poly bush kit, it's not clear what is what, I think these are replacement bump stops ??? [:s] [:s]

Assuming I've not got this completely wrong I assume the three pieces go together like this;

If so does it fit on the shock like this ?? It's seems wrong and it slops around on the shock, it's not tight on like the original and is a lot smaller ??

Should I put the cover over the top of these (the bit on the right in the first picture) ??
Thanks,
J

From what i can see that looks correct, Not sure if it is supposed to be loose but it wouldnt make to much diffrence?
-
with it beign loose makes no diff, as then they are pushed on theyll mvoe about the strut anyway.. and theyre shorter for if youre lwoering i would suspect, so you arent riding on them..
-
These are for the front shocks that's why they are loose. I'll be putting the old one back on till I get replacements.
Thanks,
J

rear polys will make the ride harsh, as the bumpstops are actually part of the suspension setup which is why they're soft n foamy. Front ones just stop the shocks bottoming out :)
