Default Bump Stops & Tie Rod ends

Sorry did mean to type bumper..

My Rear bump stops are cracked. Where can I get 2 new ones?

Also my Tie Rod end bushing look alittle tired and beat. Do I have to replace the whole tie rod or can I just replace the Bushing and if I can just replace the Bushing where can I get them?

You can get the bumpstops from GMPD, SDPC also I think, and from any GM stealership. They cost like 20 bucks a piece though, so unless you bottom out constantly or operate a furniture moving company with your car, I'd just not worry about it.

And what do you mean by tie rod bushing? You talking about the dust shield? Or are the tierods actually loose? Either way, probably best just to replace the tierod ends. They're not too expensive, and it would probably suck if one broke while you were driving and you no longer had the ability to steer

I think I got my outers for like 24 a piece from Napa. You also need a picklefork, you don't want to hammer on the actual tie rod to get the end out. If it's like my 120k mile factory ones were, you'll have to pound the hell out of it to get them out.
