Bump stops
« on: December 05, 2020, 10:02:40 am »
Is there a source for new bump stops for the '88 control arms?  I saw some for the Riviera that looked similar.

After I looked at the link twice they did begin to look familiar. 😂

I’ve got no clue. 😂

I'm hoping someone has found something that works in an '88.

I wonder if Chevette of the era bump stops would work.  They may still be available. 
There are three kinds of men:

1.    The ones that learn by reading.
2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

The Riviera ones look similar to me, as well.
Your link showed out of stock, but Amazon and others have them. (Google "9.9150G". Looks like lots of vendors.)

Right.  I'd like to get new bump stops, but can't tell the difference between these similar products.

Likely on a pre-'88.  Not so sure about on an '88, unless the part is the same, stock.

Autozone no longer allows returns.  I did return something, recently, but they were very upset.  Apparently, returned parts are infected.

Oh, the bump stop would have to be trimmed, so no return, anyway.

Yes, the store manager called me a whole string of names.  So, I went to 2 other stores.  They each insisted that I return to the original store.

So have I.  Try to get them to give you credit for a core charge but you get to keep the core because they can't accept a return.
