Bump stops

[andrewg29]

So my 02 tahoe was leaking a bit of oil, so i crawled under it to see where it was coming from and saw this.. is it normal or time for some new shocks. Both sides are like this

Wait, you're sitting on the bump stops??? Is this with the truck in a normal state, like on the ground and on it's own wheels/tires?

Has it been lowered, maybe using keys?

Either someone fudged up the torsion keys or the torsion bars themselves are shot.

Truck looks normal to me it's suppose to ride on the bump stops

NBS should be riding on stops up front.

Yes it was on its own wheels and tires and factory height from what ive read and what those two others said its normal

Torsion bar vehicles should be just kissing the bump stops @ normal ride height. This makes the ride seem progressive.


My vehicle is stock height, with new shocks and it looks very similar to that.

That's news to me, also not what mine looks like.

Do you have a significant gap? My bumpstops are a different design than those, but they are very close to contacting at level ride height.

Most major auto parts stores can get them as well as the dealership, dealership isnt going to be much higher than the parts store your not talking major money here , dealer charged me less than $20 each
