[sloweracing]

I need some help i am looking for some bump stops for my Adria Optima that fit on the axle and act as suspension or stops from bottoming out

Many thanks in advance

If the suspension on your caravan is bottoming out - you have a major problem to resolve.

Either the springs are broken or weakened - or - you're seriously overloading the caravan. If the springs are damaged, replace them. If you're overloading, don't!

Bump stops are NOT the answer to this problem!

Bet you had a good christmas

So if the sink plug breaks dont renew the plug find out why the chain broke

The caravan is 18 years old dont you think a rubber will perish in this peroid of time of rot in these weather conditions

I dont need preaching i need help to resume this bump stop

I have used a caravan for more miles than u would believe up and down the country racing at different circuits and have never had one problem with my towing or my equipment

So i dont want to go on but if theres a bump stop on there when i bought this product then i want one back on there

Things go wrong you dont need a heater in your car but if it dont work i bet your the first to the garage to fix it

I thought this would be a good forum to post on now i relise what free speech means

Many thanks to Lutz for his help on this subject

i will never visit this website again after one post that needed help

No bad feelings Roger but fair well and good and safe travels to where ever and what ever part of this country

I think that you are mis-reading the good advice given .

Have you tried the Adria dealer or the chassis manufacturer?

Blimey!! there was I thinking Roger had given some sound advice!!!

The reason being like Rodger I would be of the opinion an 18 year old Adria sits on an Alko type axle with rubber suspension and given that fact Rodger is perfectly correct. It would seem however this is not the case so ringing what used to be Adria GB on 0115 9447519 would be your best chance of getting some 'bump stops' for your Adria

Simon now it is clear that you have coil springs with rubber bump stops.This is then easy have you tried the demon tweeks catalog which you will have if you are a MSA licence holder,or try your local motor factors,but the bump stops from the rear of a mk 1 Isuzu Trooper can be modified to fit most things.

BTW where and what do you race? GS

Ahh Simon just noticed you are a Bike racer not car.we may meet one day when I change my job from car scrutineer to ACU scrutineer next season GS
