micky boy Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Think they are called bump stops and you can get powerflex ones from halfords ;) Quote

fattony Posted June 25, 2011 Author Posted June 25, 2011 http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/ph...e=1&theaterthis picture shows the removed shock topmount area, on my other shocks there is no foam insert inbetween the top of the strut plate and the pillow mount thing (basically the thing that lloks like black foam in the middle of the picture!) if this is missing from my other shocks, could it cause a light knocking noise whn going over bumps?

hill_bill10 Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 no mate, and if its what i think it is they arent essential they are just their to cover the strut up, wouldnt worry to much about them ;) Quote
SG_EP91 Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 cheers dude, thats what i think to!!Yeah i wouldn't worry as 1 of mine are missing to and there hasn't been any difference or problems since i had my shocks replaced Quote
