VW Bus Front Upper Torsion Arm Bump Stops – 211-401-253 Protect your front suspension and improve ride quality with this high-quality Front Upper Torsion Arm Bump Stop (also known as a suspension snubber). This critical rubber component acts as a cushion for your upper trailing arms, preventing harsh metal-on-metal contact when your suspension reaches its maximum travel. Over decades of use, original rubber stops become compressed, oil-soaked, or completely dry-rotted. Replacing them restores the factory-intended dampening and protects your expensive front beam and torsion arms from unnecessary impact damage. Detailed Vehicle Compatibility This upper bump stop is a direct fit for the following models and years: VW Bus (Type 2) 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979 Product Highlights & Features Impact Protection: Designed to absorb energy and soften the limit of the suspension’s upward travel, protecting your chassis and suspension components. Premium High-Density Rubber: Manufactured from oil-resistant and UV-stable rubber to ensure a long service life in the harsh environment of the front wheel well. Direct OEM Fitment: Engineered to the exact factory specifications of part number 211-401-253 for a perfect fit into the upper retaining bracket. Versatile Placement: Non-directional design fits both the driver (left) and passenger (right) side upper torsion arms. Technical Specifications Part Number: 211-401-253 Position: Front Axle – Upper Torsion Arm Material: Heavy-Duty Black Rubber Quantity Required: 1 Pair per vehicle (Sold as a Pair) Installation & Maintenance Tips Check Your Clips: These bump stops are held in place by a specific metal retaining clip (Part # 211-401-279). We highly recommend inspecting your clips and replacing them if they are rusted or lost tension. Easy Installation: While no special tools are required, using a small amount of rubber lubricant or soapy water can help the stop seat more easily into the retaining bracket. Pair Recommendation: Bump stops should always be replaced in pairs to ensure consistent suspension travel and dampening on both sides of the vehicle.
