Dorman - OE Solutions Leaf Spring Bumper P/N:523-049
Cushion hard suspension compression and help keep metal from striking metal with the Dorman leaf spring bumper, part number 523-086. This front leaf spring bumper is a direct replacement for the 2000-2002 Ford Excursion, designed to fit and perform like the original equipment. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific details.
A leaf spring bumper works as a travel stop. When the suspension compresses over a large bump or under a heavy load, it cushions the contact point and helps keep the leaf spring and axle from striking the chassis directly. Over time a bumper can crack, split, crumble or go missing, and then there is nothing to soften that impact.
Signs this part may need replacing include a bumper that is cracked, split or missing, or a harsh bang when the front suspension bottoms out. These symptoms can have other causes, so inspect the bumper and the surrounding suspension components before replacing parts.
