Bump rubber for rear shocks, L series?

Post by indy » Wed Mar 21, 2012 7:45 am

Hey guys so decided to have a crack and replace my rear shock absorbers as they are completley had it.
After having alot of troubles with the bolts pretty much seized up i manage to get the rear suspension unit out, the bump rubber is completley destroyed and the top rubber insulator? is also had it. was just going to replace the bump rubber, rang around and nobody has it! rang up my local subaru and they reckon subaru can't get them anymore. Has anyone had to replace one of these and know if just any bump rubber from any car will do? my old one is destroyed and in pieces so cant really compare its dimensions to others.

this is the bump rubber on the shock shaft itself ? Mr Pedder does them, got some recently - look at their online catalogue and should give number
