Anybody ever used this bump stop from the company Energy Suspension to relocate their rear end “center top” bump stop? It’s part # 9.9150G. Here is an old forum quote (the link is broke but if you manually enter the part # it shows up) from 2002 which is an answer to another person having his pinion yoke chop a piece of his bump stop off.

“I was driving recently and hit a large pot hole in the road (just missed it I guess). Anyway, I heard a noise from the rear end that sounded like rubber popping. I looked under the car and noticed that the bump stop on the body directly above the the rear end had a notch cut in it. I have put on the 3/4" extended rear links and have really liked what the do for the car's handling. I am certain that the pinion ring on the input to the rear end made this grove. Has anyone else had this problem?? If so, what did you do to correct it?? Please let me know. Thanks!”

“I did allot of research on this and found that using the Enery Suspension Bumper Stop # 9.9150G our problems are solved. It is slightly offset which keeps it off the Yoke. It is also a little higher to allow the use of the larger diameter driveshats. Otherwise they can hit the floor pan when hitting a big bump in the road or when carring heavy loads.

Hope this helps!”

This is exactly what I’m looking for (if it works) because I’m on the edge of deciding/purchasing extended rear control arms (Metco) and a larger 3.5 inch Aluminum driveshaft (3:73 gears). I didn’t want to see if I can get a reply from a post that was so old. I know I shouldn’t totally depend on one piece of rubber (I’m planning not too) , but it helps me not destroy my existing rubber bumper. I want to know if this part really repositioned the contact point to the correct place on on the axle away from the spinning pinion yoke. Also, for anyone looking for a remedy to the same deal, here possibly is a part. That bolt don’t look like it’s off centered 3/4 but it might be. Anyone has firsthand with this part, feedback appreciated. Notes: I guess it’s a pair for a Buick both sides originally.
Thanks.
