Febi Bump Stop - 18365

A bump stop, also known as a rubber buffer, is designed to prevent your vehicle's suspension from bottoming out completely. It cushions severe impacts, protecting components like shock absorbers, springs, and the chassis from damage and improving ride comfort.

This bump stop is compatible with specific models including SEAT LEON 1M1 (1.4, 1.6, 1.8, 1.9D from 1999 to 2006) and various Volkswagen vehicles that use the equivalent OEM part number 1H0412303B for the front axle.

Yes, installation typically requires specialized tools and automotive knowledge. Febi products are usually supplied without fitting instructions, so professional installation by a competent individual is strongly advised for safety and correct functionality.

The Febi Bump Stop - 18365 is manufactured from durable PU (Polyurethane), a material known for its excellent elasticity, resilience, and resistance to wear and tear.

This product is sold individually, meaning one bump stop is included per purchase. You will need to purchase the required quantity for your vehicle's needs, typically two for the front axle.

Bump stops do not have a strict replacement interval, but they should be inspected regularly (e.g., during tire rotations or oil changes) for signs of wear, cracking, or deterioration. Replace them if they appear damaged or if you notice a significant change in your vehicle's ride quality, such as harsh bottoming out.

The 'febi plus' range identifies products that are supplied almost exclusively by Febi Bilstein. This signifies that these parts are often specialized or unique within their extensive spare parts catalog, providing high-quality and reliable replacements.

Ensure the correct bump stop was installed for your vehicle model and placement. Also, check other suspension components (shocks, springs) for wear or damage, as they might be the primary cause.

Re-check the installation of the bump stop and surrounding components. Ensure all bolts are tightened to specifications and nothing is loose or rubbing. A professional inspection is recommended.

Given that fitting instructions are not typically supplied, professional assistance is highly recommended. Suspension work can be complex and requires specialized tools and knowledge.

Verify that the bump stop is the correct part for your vehicle and application. Inspect the suspension for any underlying issues (e.g., severely worn shock absorbers) that might be causing excessive stress on the bump stop. Contact the supplier or a professional mechanic.
