Dorman - HELP Suspension Control Arm Bumper P/N:31053
Cushion the control arm at the limits of its travel with the Dorman suspension control arm bumper, part number 31052 from Dorman's HELP line, made to replace a worn, cracked or missing original. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1975-1978 Ford F-250, 1968-1973 Chrysler Town & Country and 1967 Chrysler 300. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
The bumper acts as a stop between the control arm and the chassis. It helps keep the arm from contacting the chassis directly at the end of suspension travel. The catalog lists it for the front lower and front lower forward positions.
A clunk or harsh bang when the suspension bottoms out may mean the control arm bumper has deteriorated. If it is the cause, this part replaces it. These noises can have other causes, so inspect the bumper and the surrounding suspension components first. Follow the vehicle service information for installation.
