82-02 GM F-Body Rubber Rear Bump Stops, Pair

Replacement Rear Rubber Bump Stops for the 1982-2002 Camaro and Firebird, Sold as a Pair

Worn or missing rear bump stops let the axle slam into the chassis and are one of the quiet causes of premature rear shock failure on a third or fourth generation F-body. This pair of replacement rubber stops mounts in place of the damaged factory pieces at the existing mounting holes, and UMI recommends them whenever the rear shocks are being renewed.

Key Features

• Direct replacement for damaged or worn factory rear rubber bump stops.
• Mounts using the existing mounting holes on the car.
• Sold as a pair, so both sides are covered in one purchase.
• Rubber construction, matching the original style of stop rather than a firmer polyurethane substitute.
• Recommended by UMI to help prevent premature rear shock failure.
• Covers both third and fourth generation F-body cars, 1982 through 2002.

Fitment

A modification is published for this part. UMI's fitment note states that minor trimming of the mounting flange on the car is required, and the attribute table lists Direct Bolt-On as No with Modifications as Cutting. The description separately says the stops bolt in using existing mounting holes. Both are true in practice: the stops use the original holes, but the flange needs light trimming, so both statements are shown here rather than one.

UMI recommends professional installation for this part.

About UMI Performance

UMI Performance sells and ships this part from 509 Hemlock Street in Philipsburg, Pennsylvania, and lists the manufacturer of the bump stops themselves as General Motors rather than UMI. That distinction matters: UMI's published two-year warranty applies to UMI-manufactured products and states plainly that non UMI manufactured parts are not covered under it. Order handling, returns within 30 days on an RMA, and the 20 percent restocking fee follow UMI's standard policies, but the UMI product warranty should not be assumed for this item.

FAQ

Two. UMI states the rear bump stops are sold as a pair.

Rubber. UMI names and describes the part as a rubber bump stop and publishes no durometer or polyurethane option.

Partly. The stops use the existing mounting holes, but UMI's fitment note calls for minor trimming of the mounting flange on the car, and the attribute table lists Direct Bolt-On as No with Modifications as Cutting.

Because both appear on UMI's own page. Rather than pick one, this listing reproduces both: existing holes are used, and light flange trimming is expected.

UMI's product page lists the manufacturer as General Motors, and unlike every other item in this range the page carries no UMI Performance tag. UMI sells and ships the part.

UMI's warranty text states that non UMI manufactured parts are not covered or valid under the UMI Performance warranty. Since UMI names General Motors as the manufacturer here, coverage should not be assumed. UMI's 30 day return policy, with an RMA and a 20 percent restocking fee, still applies to uninstalled parts.

UMI's own copy says they are highly recommended to prevent premature shock failure. A missing stop lets the axle travel into the chassis and drives that load through the shock.

None are published. No installation sheet exists for this part number in UMI's published documentation, so use the applicable General Motors factory service information for your model year for fastener torque.

Yes. UMI lists the fitment as 1982-2002 GM F-body, covering both platforms for Camaro and Firebird.

UMI does not state whether fasteners are included, and there is no hardware attribute on this product's page, so plan on reusing the factory fasteners or sourcing replacements.

Installation Instructions

1. Support the rear of the vehicle safely on jack stands and let the axle hang so the bump stop mounting flange is accessible.
2. Remove the damaged or worn factory rubber bump stops from the existing mounting locations.
3. Test fit the replacement stop and perform the minor trimming of the vehicle mounting flange that UMI's fitment note calls for.
4. Fit each stop at its existing mounting hole and secure it, then repeat on the opposite side.
5. Consult the applicable General Motors factory service information for your model year for the correct fastener torque, since UMI publishes none for this part.
6. Lower the vehicle and confirm the stops sit square to the contact surface.

UMI publishes no installation sheet for part 2056; the retailer PDF path that serves UMI's other sheets returns no valid document for this number. The steps above summarise what UMI does state on the product page, and UMI recommends professional installation.
