Camber plate replacement & Jounce bumper questions

[2013DIBGT]

Hello,

I am in the process of gathering all my aftermarket suspension components that I will need to perform the install on my 2013 GT and had a few questions I hope someone can answer.

I purchased some Vorshlag camber plates and am trying to find the Ford part number for the "OEM Spring Rubber" listed in the pic below. I understand that I could use the one from my factory strut but my intention is to not take that apart upon removal so I want to purchase this part separately. I haven't had any luck find this part number anywhere. Any ideas on what the part # is for this component?

In addition, I was curious to know about an aftermarket or factory part # for the dust boots for the front struts. I have a a set of Koni Yellow's going in to replace the factory front struts and will need boots for them. Does Ford sell the dust boots alone? In looking at Fordparts.com I am only seeing the entire front strut and not the boots by themselves.

In doing research I came across another post on a different Forum making mention that you can use Gabriel Part #: 143059 which are sold at Autozone as possible replacements but I'm not sure if this is the case or not?

Lastly, can anyone tell me if FRPP Jounce bumpers are required when lowering a car with Steeda Sport springs? I have seen some say yes and others say the Steeda springs were designed to be used with the factory Jounce setup (As read from an install guide found on American Muscles Website for using Steeda Sport Springs). The thought of not using the FRPP Jounce bumpers is interesting because on the FRPP website they say these should be replaced when using their handling kit which lowers the car a similar amount as the Steeda Sport spring do.

Thanks for any info you can provide.

Just cut your bumpstops in half

Thanks for your response but cutting the bump stops is, IMO of course, a bit Ghetto.

Guess I'll be going with the FRPP units whether I like it or not.

So far things are looking grim on the "OEM Spring Rubber" front also. The only thing I found as an option so far was to purchase another set of factory upper mounts and steal the rubber piece...

I put in the same setup and used the Ford racing bump stop kit. The only difference is that I got the upper spring pearches that are all metal (from the E46 M3) they work great and don't add any noise. this way you don't have to get the upper rubber isolated. Vorshlag recommend these for heavy autox and track use, give them a call. As far as dust boots, I used some from advance autoparts.

I have the FRPP front jounce bumpers sitting in a box in my garage. You can have them if you want em.

I'd be curious to know the part number as well. I actually need to do the same thing. Would rather just get a new one and sell my current suspension setup as a whole than have to disassemble it and use the rubber on it. Plus it allows me to have everything preassembled before I even take my car apart.

Hello, I appreciate your generous offer but I already placed an order for some new ones

Monroe makes the spring rubber. Monroe part #: 907948. Pretty inexpensive

I ended up ordering new factory 2011 strut mounts from Tousley. Just got them in today and was happy to see they have the rubber piece I need. $26 per side.

I'm sure the Monroe units would be less expensive but I had already placed the order.

Thanks for the info on it nonetheless
