What the heck are these parts for?

Shock absorber snubbers?

[mikester]

I think those go on the top of the front shocks pre-installation. They are rubber stops for if the shocks top out.

maybe?

[Dave at Pelican Parts]

Yup. Snubbers, bump-stops, and I think they're also called other things as well.

Some shocks (e.g., Konis) will be significantly damaged by bottoming out. So you really need those...

Those are rare sound damping ear plugs.

Hey, Thanks guys for your imput. I am still not convinced what the heck those rubber thingys are for. Top shock snubber fittings seem logical but, are they the correct parts or not?

I think I got these with a bunch of turbo tie rod parts, a while back. I was thinking that maybe these things fit on the tie rods as a mount for a boot that would extend up to the steering rack, but I now doubt that. Still wondering, sort of a constant state for me, wonderiing.

look different then both types of snubbers i have seen.

[Dave at Pelican Parts]

They look a fair bit like VW Rabbit snubbers.
