Bump Stops
Rear Suspension Bump Stop Suzuki Samurai
Rear suspension bump stop for the Suzuki Samurai. It absorbs the impact when the suspension bottoms out instead of feeding it into the chassis and spring mounts, and puts an end to the banging from the rear over bigger bumps. Fits without disassembling the suspension.
Rear Suspension Bump Stop Suzuki Samurai
A dull thud from the back as you drop off a kerb or hit a pothole at speed is usually neither the spring nor the damper – it is a missing or disintegrated bump stop. The rubber block above the axle costs very little, and its whole job is to absorb what would otherwise land on the chassis and the spring mounts.
This is the rear suspension bump stop for the Suzuki Samurai – the sort of part you only think about once it is gone.

Key benefits
- The bump stop takes the hit when the suspension bottoms out instead of passing it straight into the chassis and spring mounts – the cheapest protection for expensive parts.
- It ends the hollow banging from the rear over bigger bumps, which on a high-mileage Samurai almost always comes from a missing stop.
- Matched to this specific model rather than a universal block forced into place.
- Replacement takes minutes and needs no suspension disassembly – one of the simplest jobs you can do yourself.
Technical data
- Part number: NOM-42150-83000
- Model: Suzuki Samurai
- Position: rear suspension
- Type: bump stop (travel limiter)
Who it is for: any Samurai whose rear bump stops have cracked, crumbled or simply fallen off – after twenty-odd years that is the rule rather than the exception. Worth checking while you are changing dampers or leaf springs: you are looking at that spot anyway and the car is already on a lift.
Installation notes
While you are there, inspect the surface the stop strikes and its mounting – if the stop has been missing for a while, the impact marks are often visible on the chassis. On a lifted car, standard bump stops may need spacer plates so they still limit travel at the right point; those spacers are usually part of lift kits and are not included with this item.
Why it is worth it
- The cheapest component in the rear suspension, protecting the most expensive ones: chassis, spring mounts and the leaf pack itself.
- Made for the Samurai, so shape and height match the factory arrangement.
- No special tools needed – a genuine home-garage job.
Take a look under the back of your car – if the stop is gone or reduced to a stub, this is a part to order now.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which axle is this bump stop for?
The rear suspension of the Suzuki Samurai.
Does fitting require dismantling the suspension?
No. The bump stop bolts on above the axle, so replacing it needs no removal of springs or dampers.
Will it work on a lifted car?
This is the standard-specification stop. Lifted suspension usually calls for additional spacer plates, which are not included here – they are normally supplied with lift kits.
How do I know the bump stop needs replacing?
By a hollow thud from the rear when dropping off a kerb or hitting a pothole, and by visible cracking, delamination or the rubber block simply being gone.
