Quick Front Shock Question
I'm in the middle of putting new shocks on the FRONT of my 02 camaro.
I do not see a traditional bump stop anywhere. Not on the old shock, not on the new shock, not on the lower control arm, not on the frame of the car.
Is the rubber isolator at the top somehow supposed to act as a bump stop? Or am I missing mine?
ALSO- the new shock did not come with any protective boot to cover the piston rod. Do I need to get one?
Thanks a bunch
Dave

thats what I was afraid of.
The stock shocks are long gone. And the new ones didn't come with any of course.
The shop manuals don't mention anything about them. Don't have any part numbers. The shock manufacturer doesn't know anything. I guess I just need to get an approximate bumpstop from energy suspension or something, which I don't like because I don't think polyurethane is as good as rubber for this job.
Thanks for the response!

Buy 2 of these, and you'll be good!
Same bumpstops that come on the koni SAs, and DAs.
