Bump Stops
The humble bump stop is a simple yet important device that stops 2 objects making direct contact with one another that will cause one or both of them to be damaged. They are also used to restrict objects being pushed too far by limiting their travel. In a vehicles suspension system they are used in a lot of places to stop bottoming out under full compression.
