Bus Front Lower Torsion Arm Bump Stops Pair – 211-401-263A

VW Bus Front Lower Torsion Arm Bump Stop – 211-401-263A

The Lower Bump Stop (or snubber) is specifically designed to cushion the suspension when it fully extends (rebound). While the upper stop handles compression from bumps, the lower stop prevents the suspension arms from "clanking" at the bottom of their travel.

Like the upper versions, these are made of heavy-duty rubber that eventually perishes, leading to a noisy and unrefined ride. Replacing these alongside your upper stops is the best way to fully restore your front end's factory feel.

Detailed Vehicle Compatibility These lower stops fit continuously across the following years:

• VW Bus (Type 2): 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• Reuse Your Hardware: These use the exact same Retaining Clips (211-401-279) as the upper stops. Ensure you have a total of four clips to complete the entire front beam.

• Clean the Seat: Use a wire brush to remove old rubber bits and rust from the "cup" on the axle beam before popping the new stop in.

• Complete the Set: If you are already working on the lower stops, it is a great time to inspect your lower ball joints and torsion arm seals for wear or leaks.
