9.9178 Energy Suspension Bump Stop For 12mm Bolt
The 9.9178 Energy Suspension Bump Stop helps protect vehicles against bottoming-out from big bumps and dips in the road. These can replace the factory-supplied rubber bump stops with polyurethane, a material is more durable and long-lasting. The bump stop protects the vehicle from bottoming-out by stopping the frame from colliding with the axle during sudden suspension travel.
Potential Damages
Working more demanding jobs like construction and farming can cause their vehicle to go down some bumpy roads and terrains. Imagine the strain that rubber bump stops can go through by being smashed with the weight of your vehicle every time you hit a bump. Not only that but the dirt, road chemicals, or coastal climate can also cause general wear and tear on polyurethane in general. If the bump stops were to break down from overuse, the axle and the frame might not be protected from each other and cause damage to both the suspension and frame that may be expensive to fix.
The Pros and Cons of Poly and Rubber
This bump stop is made out of a more durable and long-lasting material known as polyurethane which is more resilient to pressure from the axle than rubber and has a longer natural lifespan than rubber by an estimated 20-30 years. Rubber can easily break apart after a few years when exposed to continual abuse eventually losing its shape. If made from polyurethane, these parts are guaranteed to hold their shape for much longer.
So, if your vehicle is lowered, heavy, or travels rough terrain and your bump stops are damaged, get yourself some 9.9178 Energy Suspension Bump Stops today!
