Bump Stops xsara Picasso exclusive

[Subsonicnat]

Hii All,
Have just ordered some new REAR BUMP STOPS.
Have not got round yet to doing the job,but they should arrive TODAY..
How do they attache to the chassis,internal bolts or some form of cup.??.
appreciate some forward help on this topic.
Regards,
Colin.

look at the parts diagram, are they just screwed into the chassis rail and have an end plate with a bolt sticking out, or a hole for a bolt to screw into it??

They may just fit into a cup.....

Appear to be bolted on, presumably from the bottom?

Thanks for that mate ,Will take a closer look when the weather stops being so Damn Cold.. Thank You.
Funny,Nobody seems to have ever replaced them,lol.
Will post on here after I have done them.
The Broader end of the B/S has just a shallow recess with NO HOLE ALL the way through,,,,, Smaller end has a larger,Deeper hole with a VERY SMALL HOLE,, Really got me this one..

I did the bump stops on our Phase II Xsara Estate and they simply pushed in. If it's any help at all I had to look around a lot of cars in the scrap yards and that included Picassos which ISTR also just pushed in.

Actually, looking at it again, the bolt is shown only going through the cup (if it went through the stop I would expect it to be drawn below it) - and the parts diagram says it's only 16mm long, so I think it's a fair bet they're just pushed in.

This Topic Has not come to an end, Its just too damn cold and,,. wet now..
I may be able to upload some pictures of the items I have bought which I hope comes to fruition.. courtesy of RichardW..{under posting pictures on the forum}..
All I need is the daylight tomorrow and hopefully be able to shed light on what they look like.
Pictures will explain better than I can in words..
My work will be cut out when I install,New shocks rear,Two New Bump Stops..
I have noticed as well when outside of the drivers door,a Smell of what seems like exhaust but funny smell,,,,, Dare I say like rotten eggs,,is this the CAT with a leak????..
I did replace the Back silencer box when I First bought it..
But the smell seems to far forward to be my bad replacement of it..
Do the FLEXI pipes burn through,?????.Just wondering,,,,,Have priced one one The Bay about £100:00... (I will have to stop throwing money at this motor,But just want it so I know its right by my stanndards,which is fairly medium to other folks,,I just want a few years out of it like I did my two previous cars...They neede work at the beginning but gave me fairly touble free motoring for roughly 10 + years each,,So cannot grumble..

[Subsonicnat]

Dia,,,not all the way through,about 1 1/4" Deep it looks like?.
SeeWhat you think,how the hell do they attache?..

Has anyone figured this out yet ? I’ve just bought some so wanting to know the trick

[Paul-R]

The large end with the larger hole simply pushes on to a spigot. The spigot has a mushroom shaped head (IIRC!) to hold the bump stop.

Just a mushroomed head on spigot in center of cup holding bumpstop
Powerflex make them in polyurethane along with big bush on bottom engine mount for some inc diesels

[Martinez]

Mine look just like in the photo above, there’s no hole in the thick end just an indentation.

[Paul-R]

Have you tried pushing it on? A bit of spit will help. Or soapy water if you're spitless.

[Martinez]

Well, whilst replacing the brake compensator spring yesterday, one of the bumpstops fell off. Mine have a cup that holds the bumpstop in, this is then bolted into the chassis using an 8mm bolt. Both the cups are corroded beyond repair and I had to get a torch on the bolts to get them out. So now I’ve got no way of fitting the bumpstops unless I make up new cups !
I noticed on Fleabay that some bumpstops are just screw in types, so that may be an option ?

[Paul-R]

They would have to be of similar composition and construction. And cheap enough to throw away if it doesn't work!
