Ok, My bump stops couldn't take it any longer :D. Sometime early this week, I kept hearing a clank noise over the slightest bump. In the past, it would normally clank on big bumps, but recently, its been going on all the time. I brang the car into shop today, and put it on the lift. I found that the front left bumpstop was shot. It was supposed to be flushed with the bearing, but it was loose and ****-eyed. The noise it makes is SUPER embarrasing when I roll up to someone and all you hear is clank, clank, (3 feet, its fine), clank. When I drive behind a group of people in an alley waiting for them to move, they all turn around to see whats the noise :rolleyes:.

So the point of this thread is if any of you guys can tell me if this is the right part number that I need. I need the bump stop, and I dont know the "real" name for it. THX
