Detailed Product Description

The Dorman 523-237 jounce bumper is a standard replacement part crafted to restore the suspension performance of Chevrolet Aura, Pontiac G5, G6, HHR, and Saturn Ion models. Its 56 mm diameter and foam construction allow it to effectively absorb shocks and prevent metal-to-metal contact during suspension compression. The pressed attachment method ensures a firm fit within the suspension assembly, reducing the risk of displacement or premature wear. The yellow finish aids in quick visual inspection during maintenance.
