Now forgive me if i'n wrong but aren't new struts when you buy them, especially good ones ment to come with the bumps stops??

Only recently had some king springs and new KYB's at each corner and felt nice and firm until you took a med to fast corner. Then you get the rather harsh bang. So jacked up car to find no bump stopps at all. So can anyone help me with my Qn??

If they are i'll be headin back to a certain place to get them to put the bump stopps in and pay for the front end to be re-aligned if need be.

I don't know of any dampers that come with bump stops; you are supposed to reuse the old ones if they are in good condition, or fit new ones... if yours don't have bump stops fitted and you have bottomed them out, the dampers are dead for sure.

Cool looks like i will be going and picking up two new bump stops as my old ones did the old crumble in my hands also, but that was after a good 6 years of me drivin the girl.
See how it goes soon
