BMW i3 Front Shock Absorber Bump Stop
This front bump stop sits on the shock absorber rod on the BMW i3. It stops the suspension bottoming out harshly over big bumps and protects the shock absorber. The same bump stop fits the left or right side.
A crumbling or missing bump stop can cause a harsh bang over large bumps and leave the shock absorber exposed. They often break up with age, so check them whenever the suspension is apart.
