Jounce Bumpers

'Jounce' bumpers are the rubber pieces that prevent the shock/strut from bottoming out. I'm used to hearing them call bump stops. Regardless of the term, it the little rubber bushing-type piece that slides down the strut rod to cushion excessive downward movement.

On my B14, the bumper & the boot come as one piece. I had to cut about 20mm out of the bumper when I lowered it, so now mine are 2 separate pieces.

Hope this helps...
