the little yellow thing is the bump stop. it has nothing to do with the springs. take it off teh strut shaft, cut in in half with a carpet knife or anything sharp, then put it right back.

seriously, read the DIY on the first page. It is self explanatory.

read the first page, it says to replace bump stops with old ones with new one if you have ones that came with your springs. SO, in my case with the df210 springs they did not come with them. so just place the stock ones back in? now DO i cut? or Don't i CUT? it in half and put it back in? i'm a little confused!

if they tell you to cut, cut them.

it tells you in the directions how much they need to be cut.

all you have to do is cut the stock ones in half, put the top half back in and you'll be fine.

okay, sounds good. thank you!!

just got done installing 3 springs on my car. the sun went down before the 4th one could go on. and complete the installation.

just to make sure i cut the "bump" stop. it's the round donut thing that is a off white colo directly right under the 17 mm bolt on top of the strut?

This is what a cut bump stop looks like. Mine is cut 1 inch from the bottom. (I have Tein S springs). Taken from this post:

ohh no. you cut the dust boot. you kinda need that to keep dirt out of your bearing.

i can order a new one from the dealership? does anyone have this part number?

ayS

hmm...looks like i cut the strut insulator and not the bump stop. just my luck. hopefully the dealer will have them in stock tomorrow when i call them.

pandaslayer

dude, if you look at the DIY it tells you what the bumpstop is. wtf?

eXciteBox

we all told you a hundred times it was the yellow piece of foam and even posted a picture of it...

ayS

yup, and still managed to mess it up. i just ordered the new part from the dealer. should be here by tomorrow. not a big problem. but defintely a hassle.
