Bumpstops needed
On my car, I installed some Eibach Pro-Kits. In my town, the roads are terrible! I heard to buy some bumpstops for it. I went and found some BBK bumpstops on summitracing. I thought it would be the number needed, but I just got one. I do need one for each wheel, right? I was just looking to find out. Thanks!!

I just have no clue about this stuff! Will someone please explain it to me? Does my car have 2 diffs? It is not 4WD so how does it have 2 diffs? Yeah, I am lost!! Thanks!!

Your car only has one bump stop (aka - pinion snubber). It is mounted to the body right above the center of your axle housing/rear end. It has 3 8mm bolts that attach the bracket to the body, then take off the old pinion snubber and attach new one, reattach bracket to body. Pretty simple and you only need the one. If you need anything else just IM me.

Thanks a lot!! I am sure my mechanic knows this stuff, but I wanted to klnow. Thanks again!!
Oh, and btw, I thought I would need 2 of them. 1 for each axle. I guess I will return that second one I ordered!

Just because it's rough doesn't mean you are bottoming out. The fact that you bought Eibach Pro springs tells me your ride is going to be harsh...perhaps you should have bought the sport springs ![Wink](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)

Under my motor is a brace of a thing, I think that rubs, maybe.
Sorry, I never knew much about cars. When I was in the ATV wreck, I lost it all!!
