A Proton Technician's advice for those going for bump stopper replacement. That process involves the dismantling of ur springs/absorber, and one do not this often. Sharing this so that ckk125 and Pips, going soon, can prepare early
BYO pads so that some noises at ur springs/absorbers can be reduced. Pads can be made of hard rubber, polyurethane or hard PVC. At the very least, bring ur typical coloured plastic water hose as a cheap alternative. FYI, front lower part for me car has right n left pads bought @ RM100 per pair. Rear nothing. Sigh, this advice is an after-the-event for me.
Pads are to be seated/rested on the springs cups at the absorbers ( or perch or dunno whatever term) sandwiched onto the uppermost & lowermost part of our springs coil. ( hey, i did electrical engineering not automotive engineering).
This proposition is not something that is long-lasting, but if u can get small polyurethane tube or pliable hard black PVC hoses ( those plumbers use) , may be better. I have seen Hyundai using polyurethane for that purpose n still over time those break/decompose/hancur over time. Dunno whether shops got sell these pads.
Haiya, that was some long karangan. Still, hope did not bore u and of some help.
yup...aware of that..but for mine, the sound is really unbearable.
like bas kilang on mivec.
