Thread: D2 steering stops

I don't know why the 18 inch wheels had the long lockstops as they had lots of clearance to the suspension arms.
Even when I cut mine to 23Mm there was clearance. Maybe it was for snow chains.
I now have 255.70x16s on with short stops and no problems but a MUCH improved turning circle.
You have to check that the bump stop hits before the steering box reaches its limit. Mine is not completely centred so I had to add a couple of washers on one side.
So why do you want to know the part number? Surely you don't want to fit longer stops. If so you can just use any bolt . I had to as the bump stops are made of cheese and I twisted the head off one removing it.

M10 Socket headed Cap screw and nut does the job just wonderfully...

And can then be fine tuned in length (like D1)

Yep. What Mike says is the best way to go.

That's exactly what I want to do. I intend to trial fit some 315/75R16 tyres on +30mm wheels and will need longer bump stops to suit.

Yeah, that's probably the best way to go, I just had it in my head to use the factory ones to try and be neat!
