Default Illustration of where the rear bump stops and rubber spring isolators are?

I need to locate these but I don't know what I'm looking at.

Don't have a pic, but take your rear wheel off, looking from the side of the car, look at your axle, look straight above it and you will see the bump stop ( a orange or yellowish color) bolted to the car with two bolts. Its the only thing that you can see from the side bolted to the car on the inner fender.

The spring isolators are located on top of the rear springs and only are accessible by taking the rear springs off.

Ok, I just checked out and took some pics. Unfortunately I had to use the crappy digital camera since my wife has the good one right now.

Please tell me if these are the right things.

Thx! I'm not much into the whole houndstooth thing myself though. I'm leaning towards black leather racing seats at the moment.
