Conn47D24 Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 D24 Club Coupe Meanwhile.... The parts book illustrations all show a LOWER rubber bumper on the lower control arm. I assumed mine were lost to time. However once I had the wheel assembly apart I notice the mounting hole for these bumpers was PLUGGED not just missing. ? : Should I install the new lower bumper ? Is there a reason it was plugged on this model ? Thanks all Clay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desoto1939 Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 I would say that the rubber bumper got old and came off the metal stud an was probably the original bumper. Yes I woudld but in a new bumper when you do the front end. What is left over is probably the metal piece that was valcanized into the rubber bumper. Just my take on what you are showing in the picture. Rich HArtung 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Labrauer Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 I would replace the lower bumper as in mine they were gone too and when I jacked the car the wheels would turn in at the top. If the lower bumpers are not in what is going to keep the control arm from hitting the frame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn47D24 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Good take on this. Yes the rubber might have been attached to this bolt. I plan to install them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
