Help Mitsi Galant GTO rear bump stop problem

[DriveBy]

Hi all,

 

Have been attacking suspension on my GTO and i have ripped the rear bump stop on one side out and for the life of me can't figure out how they are replaced or what.

I want to shorten these anyway but does anyone know how these are replaced? I have whacked the metal bit that looks like it is pressed into the body and no joy. I can't imagine the little rubber knob that has ripped off just pushes in? I will resort to gluing it in if needs be but I want to do this properly.

Also if anyone knows where to buy new ones that'd be appreciated too!

I might have some lancer ones that bolt under u-bolts you could probably have if i find them and dont end up using them

It looks to me like they were (Past tense) secured in by an arrow shaped knob of rubber which poked through that hole in the top. (Stating the fucking obvious btw)

If the place where that knob pokes through is accessable from inside the car then you oughtta be able to fit bolt in ones. Look for ones which are heaps shorter so you can run decent slam, and keep decent travel too.

Yeah thought that myself but no access from above. To be honest it is really fucking me off. Don't want to jam it back up with liquid nails but might have to after I've chopped a couple inches off it.

Yeh look like they were pushed into place and overtime the rubber has perished so it just broke when yanked on. Maybe weld up the hole an tap the thread/weld a nut i place and get some  bolt in ones?

Just fill the hole with 5minute epoxy and smash it back onto that thing that's hanging down.

Its just a bump stop, no need to over think it

Edit... Assuming there's a hole in the top of the rubber piece

Thanks everyone will just go with first plan and cut it down and jam it back.
