Rotten Bump Stops

[Blacksky]

This is what the bump stops looked like after 10 years on my 2008 H3 RHD from South Africa. They were so rotten they crumbled easily in my hand. I guess they would have started to lose functionality after about 5 years. Why would GM use such inferior rubber compound to manufacture a part vital to the handling of the vehicle? Fail!

I would encourage everyone, if they haven't done so lately, to crawl under their Hummer and check them out if they still have original OEM.

I've swapped them out once or twice, but I've also swapped out a lot of the other rubber pieces that support the truck. Its a wear and tear piece. You can put in a stiffer material, like the Trail Duty bump stops, and deal with a different ride quality (and their own set of issues). Maybe go custom with gas charged bump stops, though I suspect those wear out look like shock absorbers.

Glad you got the maintenance in and reminded others that they need to check these out.
