Rear Bump stops??
« on: 17 January 2005, 17:54 »
Alright everyone,


I've got a 92 mk2 golf 16v & i want to put some new rear bumps stops on.  Can anyone tell me if this is difficult to do?? Remember i am of limited spanner ability!!   

Oh, & do i need any specialist tools to do it??

Thanks in advance people :smiley:

Cool, looks like you undo em at the top, drop the dampers out, stick the new bump stops on, put em back on???

Or am i way,way off the mark??? :undecided:

yeah thats about it, can't think of anything too tricky with the whole thing? there are alot of washers etc so just keep them in order and you shouldn't have any probs.

Not too bad a job, but better to get a mate to give you a hand.
The hardest bit is getting the struts out, unless you drop both sides at the same time, which i wouldn't personally do.

If the bump stops are worn, chances are the rubber spring seats are too.  Check this guide on what to check and how to replace em.  It covers bump-stops too  :smiley:

Spring compressors?  I don't think you actually need them to do the rears, from what I've heard a mate pressing down on them a bit is enough to get them back together again.  Although if you can get some probably a good idea  :wink:
