Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi guys, i just had the suspension changed at the weekend, and when i went to pick the car up the mechanic said the bump stop were knackered and he had to replace them (i saw the ones he took off and they had a big hole in them). Hes a ford specialist garage and he used a pair deisgned for a cosworth as he said they were the same part. Is this true and what do bump stops do is it to stop the suspension bottoming out? Cheers Chris

POST 2Original post

There's nothing special about bump stops beyond having the correct height, an appropriate dimension to fit inside the spring and having the correct diameter for the damper rod to fit snugly in the middle. Technically what the bump stop does is to stop the damper rod being pushed into the bottom of the tube under full compression and thus damaging the valves which control the flow of oil between the the upper & lower part of the damper.

POST 3Original post

Item 9 on the attached. Porsche call it an "Additional Spring", rather than a bump stop.

POST 4Original post

....most train stations have some at the end of each line.....good for stopping a meandering train at 15mph, but the train Ma Kolig Az Varted hi jacked and slammed into Gare De Nord at 200mph, those bump stoppers ended up near Marseilles...... so yes, they're a last minute safety item.... until you exceed their compression limit.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yea i figured it would be called something differnet. Everybody seems to call the same parts different things[ ].

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
