The new bump stops arrived today from Hendrick Motors in NC. They had a pair on the shelf down there. You can see that they are made of some weird, yellow, hardened foam. The originals just crumbled away after 13 years.
At least the bolts loosened nicely with some PB Blaster. The aluminum spacers were part of the modifications done by ASC during the factory WS6 package upgrade. The WS6 cars came with 17 rims so they had to use the aluminum spacers to lower the bump stops, in order to prevent the tires from bottoming out in the wheel wells.
Here you can see how the original foam section is gone, leaving only the metal backing bolted to the spacer.
The new snubber next to the spacer.
And after the boy installed it. Another successful afternoon project.
