Default anyone in the southbay area can help me out with bumpstop?

cuz my rear doesnt have bumpstop on because the guy that helped me out putting springs on my car said that i didnt need bump stop which was really dumb at first but i played with it and now its making all sorts of noises and its killing me. so if anyone in the san diego south bay area can help me out...it just need to be installed back and thats it or if you guys have any suggestions to do it the "easier" way i would gladly appreciate it

Is this the rubber coils that go around the springs? If so just jack up the rear enough for the tires to drop when you remove the shock support. Remove the springs and apply the rubber stops then put back. Should take 30 minutes top. I would help but I'm not allowed to play with machinery... or lift anything.

However, I'm sure if ya came out to one of the SESD meets we could hook ya up with some peeps that would be very nice and helpful.

it's not the rubber on the springs.. those are just silencers to quiet up spring slap.

bumpstops will require you to take apart the strut and slip on the bumpstop on the shock's rod itself.
