FAQs

What is a suspension rubber buffer and what does it do?

A suspension rubber buffer, also known as a bump stop, is a protective component in a vehicle's suspension system. Its primary function is to absorb energy and limit suspension travel, preventing metal-on-metal contact during compression (e.g., hitting a pothole) and reducing harsh impacts for a smoother ride.

How do I know if I need to replace my suspension rubber buffer?

Common signs of a worn or damaged buffer include unusual clunking or thudding noises from the suspension, a noticeable decrease in ride comfort (harsher impacts), or the vehicle bottoming out more frequently. Visible cracks, tears, or excessive compression of the buffer material also indicate a need for replacement.

Can I install this Febi Rubber Buffer myself?

While technically possible for experienced individuals with the right tools, professional installation is strongly recommended. Suspension components are crucial for vehicle safety and handling, and incorrect installation can lead to serious issues. This product does not come with fitting instructions.

What material is this buffer made of?

This Febi Rubber Buffer is made from durable PU (Polyurethane). Polyurethane offers excellent resilience, resistance to wear, oils, and various weather conditions, making it an ideal material for suspension components.

Which specific vehicles is this buffer compatible with?

This buffer is compatible with various SSANGYONG models, including Rexton / Rexton II (GAB_), REXTON W, Kyron SUV, ACTYON SPORTS I (QJ), ACTYON SPORTS II, and ACTYON I. Please use the make model tool to confirm fitment for your exact vehicle.

Does this buffer fit both sides of the front axle?

Yes, this Febi Rubber Buffer is designed to fit both the right and left sides of the front axle on compatible vehicles.

Troubleshooting

Unusual Noises from the Front Suspension (e.g., clunking, thudding)

This could indicate a worn or damaged rubber buffer no longer providing adequate cushioning. Have the vehicle's suspension professionally inspected to determine if the buffer or other components require replacement.

Harsher or Less Comfortable Ride Quality

A degraded or improperly installed rubber buffer can lead to reduced shock absorption. Check for visible signs of wear on the buffer or consult a mechanic to assess its condition and installation.

Vehicle Bottoming Out More Frequently

If the suspension frequently reaches its maximum travel, it could mean the buffer is no longer effective. Inspect the buffer for compression or damage, and consider professional replacement if necessary.
