Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the purpose of a rubber buffer in a suspension system?

A rubber buffer, also known as a bump stop, prevents the suspension from bottoming out, absorbing impacts and limiting excessive suspension travel. This protects shock absorbers, improves ride comfort, and maintains vehicle stability.

How do I know if my rubber buffer needs replacing?

Common signs of a worn rubber buffer include harsh thuds or jarring sensations when driving over bumps, visible cracks or tears in the rubber, or if the buffer appears to be severely compressed or deformed.

Can I install this Febi Rubber Buffer myself?

While technically possible for experienced DIY mechanics with the right tools, professional installation is strongly recommended. Rear suspension work often involves compressing springs and working with components under tension, which can be dangerous if not done correctly.

Is this buffer compatible with both PEUGEOT and CITROËN vehicles?

Yes, this specific Febi Rubber Buffer (part number 2650069) is designed for the rear axle of certain PEUGEOT models (207, 301 series) and the CITROËN C-Elysée Limousine. Always confirm compatibility with your vehicle's specific make, model, and year, ideally using your VIN or original part number.

What is the height of this Febi Rubber Buffer?

This buffer has a height of 74mm, ensuring it provides the correct amount of suspension travel limitation for the specified vehicle applications.

Does this part come with a warranty?

Info needed: Please refer to the manufacturer's or retailer's warranty policy for specific details on this product.

Troubleshooting

Experiencing harsh thuds or jolts over bumps after installation.

Double-check that the buffer is correctly seated and secured. Ensure all suspension components were reassembled and torqued to specifications. A new buffer should eliminate these sounds if the old one was the cause.

Ride quality does not improve significantly after replacing the buffer.

While crucial, the buffer is one part of the suspension. Inspect other components like shock absorbers, coil springs, and control arm bushings for wear or damage. These might also need replacement.

Buffer appears to be deforming quickly after installation.

Verify that the correct buffer for your specific vehicle and axle was installed (check part number and OE cross-reference). Ensure no external factors like overloading the vehicle are causing excessive stress. If the issue persists, contact the supplier for warranty information.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Improved Ride Comfort: Helps absorb road shocks for a smoother driving experience.
  • Enhanced Vehicle Stability: Contributes to better handling and control, especially over bumps.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Installation of the Febi Rubber Buffer (2650069) typically involves the following steps, though professional installation is highly recommended:

  1. Vehicle Preparation: Safely lift the vehicle and secure it on jack stands. Remove the rear wheel.
  2. Access Suspension: Depending on the vehicle model (PEUGEOT 207, CITROËN C-Elysée, etc.), you may need to compress the spring or unbolt lower suspension components to gain access to the old buffer.
  3. Remove Old Buffer: Carefully remove the old, potentially worn-out rubber buffer. This may require some force or specific tools if it's seized.
  4. Install New Buffer: Position the new Febi Rubber Buffer (part number 2650069) into its mounting location on the rear axle. Ensure it is seated correctly and securely.
  5. Reassemble: Reinstall any suspension components, torqueing all bolts to manufacturer specifications. Reattach the wheel and lower the vehicle.

Compatibility

This specific buffer is designed for the rear axle of the following vehicles:

  • PEUGEOT:
  • 207 (WA_, WC_)
  • 207 SW (WK_)
  • 207 Stufenheck
  • 207 SW Kasten / Kombi (WK_)
  • 301
  • CITROËN:
  • C-Elysée Limousine

It is compatible with OE number 516680 and has a height of 74mm. Always verify compatibility using your vehicle's VIN or original part number before purchase.

Care

Rubber buffers are generally maintenance-free. However, regular visual inspections during tire rotations or other service appointments are recommended. Look for:

  • Cracks or Tears: Signs of deterioration in the rubber.
  • Deformation: If the buffer appears squashed, collapsed, or severely misshapen.
  • Dislodgement: Ensure it is securely mounted and not loose.

Replace immediately if any of these signs are present to maintain optimal suspension performance and prevent further damage.
