Title: Random rear suspension bump stop and dust cover
Post by: erice1984 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.

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?
