This guide is for owners of compatible Fiat, Peugeot, and Citroën vans with double leaf suspension looking to maintain or restore their vehicle's ride quality and stability. The Febi TED10629 Rubber Buffer effectively absorbs shocks and protects suspension components, offering a key win in prolonging vehicle lifespan and comfort. However, please note that replacing these buffers typically requires a professional mechanic due to the safety-critical nature of suspension work.

A suspension rubber buffer, also known as a bump stop, limits the upward travel of your suspension. It absorbs severe impacts, prevents metal-on-metal contact, and protects other suspension components from damage during extreme compression.
Each vehicle requires two of these rubber buffers for a complete replacement on the lower rear axle, ensuring balanced performance.
This buffer is compatible with Fiat Ducato (250_, 290_), Peugeot Boxer, and Citroën Jumper models with double leaf suspension, including various Kastenwagen, Bus, and Pritsche/Fahrgestell variants. Always verify with your vehicle's specific details.
While technically possible for experienced DIYers, professional installation is strongly recommended. Suspension work can be dangerous and requires specialized tools and knowledge to ensure safety and correct fitment.
Common signs include harshness or clunking noises from the rear suspension over bumps, a feeling of the vehicle 'bottoming out' easily, or visible cracking, tearing, or degradation of the rubber material on the buffer itself.
Replacing worn buffers restores ride comfort, reduces noise, protects your leaf springs and shock absorbers from damage, and helps maintain the vehicle's stability and handling, especially when carrying heavy loads.
While proper buffers help manage suspension travel under load and prevent damage, they do not increase the vehicle's official load capacity. Always adhere to the manufacturer's specified Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR).
This often indicates a worn or damaged rubber buffer. Inspect the buffers for cracks, tears, or signs of detachment. Replacement of both buffers is usually the solution.
Degraded or compressed rubber buffers may no longer provide adequate support. Check for excessive compression or permanent deformation of the rubber. Replacing the buffers will help restore proper suspension travel and support.
Ensure you have the correct part number (TED10629) for your specific vehicle model and suspension type (double leaf suspension). If confident in compatibility, professional installation is recommended as specialized tools or techniques may be required for proper seating.
The Febi TED10629 Rubber Buffer is designed for installation on the lower rear axle of vehicles with double leaf suspension. Each vehicle requires two buffers for proper function. Due to the critical nature of suspension components and the potential need for specialized tools and vehicle lifting equipment, professional installation by a qualified mechanic is highly recommended. Attempting DIY installation without proper knowledge and equipment can be dangerous and may lead to incorrect fitment or vehicle damage.
This rubber buffer is compatible with a range of popular light commercial vehicles and vans:
Always cross-reference with your vehicle's specific make, model, year, and existing part numbers (e.g., 512255, 1362685080) to confirm compatibility before purchase.
Rubber buffers are generally maintenance-free. However, it is advisable to:
