Stopper Bush Absorber Rear > HYUNDAI SONATA 5 / KIA OPTIMA 2004 > 55348-38200 > GENUINE PART

This is a Genuine OEM Rear Shock Absorber Bump Stop, identified by the part number 55348-38200. This component is specifically designed for the rear suspension system of the earlier generation mid-size sedans, including the Hyundai Sonata 5 (EF chassis) and the corresponding Kia Optima (MS chassis) around the 2004 model year.

The Stopper Bush (or bump stop) is a necessary safety feature in the suspension. It is engineered to absorb the final, high-energy impact when the suspension fully compresses due to large road imperfections or heavy loading. By providing this cushion, it prevents damaging metal-on-metal contact, thereby protecting the internal components of the rear shock absorbers.

 
Replacing an old, hardened, or cracked bump stop with the Genuine Part ensures:

✔ Direct Fit: Guarantees correct fitment and optimal energy absorption characteristics for these specific legacy models.

✔ Shock Absorber Protection: Prevents internal damage and prolongs the service life of the rear shocks.

✔ Controlled Impact: Provides the intended cushioning effect during severe compression, helping to maintain stable handling.

 
Compatible Vehicle:

✔ Hyundai Sonata 5 (EF/New EF generations, Rear Suspension)

✔ Kia Optima (First Generation, MS/Magensis, 2001-2005 models, Rear Suspension)
