Mercedes-Benz · Suspension & Steering

Bump stops and dust covers

The foam stop that catches the suspension at the end of its travel, and the concertina sleeve that keeps grit off the damper rod.

Also called bump rubber, gaiter, dust boot.

How you know it is this

  • A hard thud over deep bumps rather than a controlled stop
  • Crumbled black foam on the ground under the car
  • A damper that has failed early with a scored rod

Worth knowing before you buy

  • A perished dust cover is what kills a damper: grit scores the rod and the seal follows within months.
  • Cheap, and fitted at the same time as the damper. Reusing a crumbling one is a false economy measured in whole struts.

What we need to quote it. The chassis number settles the generation, the body and usually the engine in seventeen characters — it is on your mulkiya. A photograph of the old part helps where there is more than one version.
