Sorry guys. I got the company name wrong. It's Energy Suspension
http://www.energysuspension.com/volks_ac.html. Their one page ad I saw
said for type 1,2,3 but their catalog doesn't match. Perhaps it was a
dealer or something that was selling these, or even passing them off as
a product made by this company. I might be dead wrong. I just at a
glance saw them. I personally think it's a bad idea. Isn't a bump stop
supposed to be a shock absorber (be able to compress and return to its
original shape). I would think that a urethane bump stop would deform
and stay deformed. Just my two cents worth.
Take care,

Charles,
I checked it out and drew a blank. Are
you sure that is the correct name? I even did a web
search. On another note, I tried ISP West. They had
them....used only, and $15.00-$20.00 each!!!! These
guys are truly on crack or something. They wouldn't
even gaurantee them to be in crack free condition.
I'm trying my best to find these damn things. My axle
beam is up in the air until I do.
Thanks for your help,
Marc
