This Genuine GM Strut Bumper Stop for the is a small but essential component in your vehicle’s front suspension system. Designed for the 2004-206 Pontiac GTO, 2008-2009 Pontiac G8, 2011-207 Chevy Caprice PPV and 2014-2017 Chevy SS Sedan to sit directly atop the shock tower, this bumper stop rests above the strut assembly and is secured in place by the top strut nut. Though often overlooked during suspension repairs or upgrades, it plays a critical role in maintaining ride quality and protecting your suspension components. Its primary function is to act as a cushion or buffer, absorbing impact and preventing metal-to-metal contact when the suspension compresses fully especially over potholes, speed bumps, or rough terrain. Without a properly functioning bumper stop, the strut can bottom out, leading to premature wear, noise, and even damage to the strut mount or tower. Many drivers and even technicians neglect to replace this part during strut or coilover replacement. Though it’s a minor detail, its absence and to ignore this replacement can cause deterioration can compromise the entire suspension system. If you're replacing your struts or noticing a harsh ride, clunking noises, or excessive suspension travel, it’s time to inspect and replace this component along with the upper strut bushing which is often known to fail. A fresh bumper stop ensures your struts perform as intended and helps extend the life of surrounding parts, making it a small investment with a big impact. SOLD AS A PAIR Show more
