Random rear suspension bump stop and dust cover
« on: September 08, 2010, 05:07:55 pm »
So I was trying to find bump stops for rear suspension on the mk1 rabbit hatchback, since VW doesn't make the bump stops anymore and I can't seem to find aftermarket ones either.  This is what I found.

I found that KYB SB108 fit very well, it's a bump stop and bellow kit (dust cover / boot / whatever) fit very well on the shaft, no play, the bellow fits inside the springs too.

Can be found for as low as ~$11.50 on certain websites.

http://www.amazon.com/KYB-SB108-Strut-Boot/dp/B000COBXBE/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1283980256&sr=1-1

I will take pictures and post them up in a week or two when I assemble everything.

Curious if anyone knows what the length of the factory bump stop is?

around 2" long maybe? the stock ones i mean..
92 Jetta GLI - Black, 1.6D w/ GT2056V turbo..
86 GTI - 4 Door, Med Twilight Gray, Tow Machine..
86 Audi Coupe GT - Tornado Red, All Stock.. WRECKED.
89 Toyota 4Runner - Dark Grey Metallic, LIFTED!

Turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster.
