Front strut jounce bumpers and dust covers unavailable

[A.J.]

I recently replaced my KYB struts after 60K miles and 8 years (for free because of their life time warranty). My jounce bumpers were torn a little and wanted to replace them. They are no longer available. I located what the aftermarket says what's suppose to be there. They're wrong but I was able to make them work. I just wanted to pass this along to people who might run into the same problem.

What is suppose to be there. The plastic dust cover attaches to the rubber jounce bumper which attaches to the strut cap which is no longer available.

What the aftermarket lists when you order one for a Caravan.

The aftermarket jounce bumper is shorter but is tight on the strut shaft so it will stay in place. You just have to push/work it on.

I think I used what you listed, they are shorter so it works for me being lowered.

I love those bumpstops. One good reason is that after 8 years they will probably still look and work the same! Great product!

Johnny beat me too it, was going to recommend his shock bump stops.

Yes those were an option for me but I still needed dust covers. The ones I used have bump stops AND dust covers.
