The moving parts within your suspension & steering system can move around under compression. This is more likely to happen when you hit a pothole or a bump at speed, and judging by the current state of the UK roads - is a common occurrence. Such knocks to your suspension can impact your car’s performance, not only making your ride more uncomfortable but running the risk of your suspension bottoming out. Depending on where they mount within the suspension system, bump stops are available in a range of different designs. Typically, they are found in line with the piston rods where they add an extra level of absorption when the shock reaches its maximum capacity. When located between the frame and axle, bump stops absorb the impact before the axle collides with the frame.

Bump Stop FAQs

What are bump stops on a car?

They are small rubber or foam parts fitted to the suspension that stop metal components from clashing when the suspension is fully compressed.

What is bump stop suspension?

It’s simply the suspension system with bump stops in place. The stops act as a final buffer to protect shocks, springs and mounts from damage.

Can I drive without bump stops?

Yes, the car will still move, but it’s not a good idea. Without them, the suspension can hit hard, which makes the ride rough and risks damaging other parts.

How long do bump stops last?

They can last for years, but rubber or foam will eventually wear, crack or break down. It’s worth checking them during suspension work or MOT prep.
