Bus 68-79 Front Upper Torsion Arm Bump Stops Pair – 211-401-253

VW Bus Front Upper Torsion Arm Bump Stops – 211-401-253

Protect your front suspension and improve ride quality with this high-quality Front Upper Torsion Arm Bump Stop (also known as a suspension snubber). This critical rubber component acts as a cushion for your upper trailing arms, preventing harsh metal-on-metal contact when your suspension reaches its maximum travel.

Over decades of use, original rubber stops become compressed, oil-soaked, or completely dry-rotted. Replacing them restores the factory-intended dampening and protects your expensive front beam and torsion arms from unnecessary impact damage.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• Easy Installation: While no special tools are required, using a small amount of rubber lubricant or soapy water can help the stop seat more easily into the retaining bracket.

• Pair Recommendation: Bump stops should always be replaced in pairs to ensure consistent suspension travel and dampening on both sides of the vehicle. Along with the Lower Bumper Stops (Part # 211-401-263A)
