Suspension Bump Stops - Page 4

Soichiro · 14th October 2007, 10:06

Most people seem to only get the strut with the detaching bumpstop changed. It was always my nearside bumpstop that keep detaching, but I made sure that both were changed by firmly stating that my offside strut was noisy to.

Both struts have now been changed with new springs to.

I wonder if the springs are a different spec?

I certainly push for both struts so the are a matched pair.

Mine is diesel 07 plate. On my car it was the OSF that had come loose.

Hi All

Finally had my strut changed with a strut that has a white bump stop. Took the car over a really bad road, and NO noise. I am delighted.

Soichiro · 15th October 2007, 20:43

Hi Charley,

Glad to here your fixed.

Isn't it nice to have lost that knock, lets you enjoy the rest of the car does it not?

Soichiro · 15th October 2007, 20:45

I mean hear

Charley Farley · 15th October 2007, 21:16

Hi Soichiro

Yes indeed it's great. The car is the way it's meant to be.

My bumpstops were replaced yesterday. I now have the new white ones fitted. I have only driven the car for about 5 or 10 minutes since the repair but it felt a lot tighter, less wandery and overall much better. The knocking is almost completely gone ( Isle of Wight roads are extremely bumpy so I would expect the odd thud) I will let you guys know how I get on with the car over the next few weeks.

I had a strut replaced last week, nearside I think, however dealer told me Honda would only replace in pairs if the pair was faulty. He said I'd have to wait for the other one to go before being replaced!

Hi Lovedog,

Because I have the same problem from the front driver side of my civic, could you please send me or post a picture of where and which is the bump stop?
I would appreciate it aot.

Many thanks in advance.
