Suspension Buffer - Febi - 177058

A suspension buffer, also known as a bump stop, is a rubber or foam component designed to prevent your vehicle's suspension from bottoming out. It acts as a cushion to absorb extreme compression impacts, protecting shock absorbers, springs, and the chassis from damage and providing a smoother ride.

Common signs of a worn suspension buffer include a harsh ride, 'clunking' noises over bumps, feeling like the vehicle is hitting metal-on-metal, or visible cracking, tearing, or disintegration of the rubber component during a visual inspection.

While technically possible for experienced DIYers, professional installation by a competent individual is strongly recommended. Suspension work can be complex, requires specialized tools, and directly impacts vehicle safety and handling. No fitting instructions are typically supplied.

Yes, this Febi 177058 Suspension Buffer is specifically designed for the front axle of PEUGEOT 308 models (2013-2021) and VAUXHALL COMBO E models (2018 onwards). Always double-check your specific vehicle's year and model for accurate compatibility.

This Febi suspension buffer is manufactured from high-quality, durable rubber, designed to withstand varying road conditions and provide long-lasting performance.

The Febi 177058 Suspension Buffer has an outer diameter of 116 mm and a thickness of 15 mm.

Many specialized automotive parts, especially those requiring specific knowledge and tools for installation like suspension components, assume professional fitting. Therefore, detailed step-by-step instructions for every vehicle application are often not provided.

Yes, if your original suspension buffer is worn or damaged, replacing it with a new Febi 177058 will significantly improve ride quality by restoring the suspension's ability to properly absorb impacts, reduce harshness, and prevent premature wear on other components.

This often indicates a worn or damaged suspension buffer. Inspect the buffer for cracks, tears, or excessive compression. Replacement is likely needed.

A degraded suspension buffer can cause metal-on-metal contact. Check the buffer's condition; if it's deteriorated, replace it. Also, inspect other suspension components for looseness.

A non-functional suspension buffer fails to absorb impacts, transferring stress to other parts. Replacing a worn buffer can extend the life of associated suspension parts. Ensure proper installation to prevent future issues.

While potentially linked to many suspension issues, a failing buffer contributes to reduced control. A comprehensive suspension inspection is advised, including the buffer.
