This is a Genuine OEM Rear Shock Absorber Bump Stop and Cover Kit, identified by the part number 13315197. This component is vital for the protection and function of the rear suspension system in the Chevrolet Malibu.
The Stopper Bush (or bump stop) acts as a progressive cushion, preventing the shock absorber from reaching its maximum compression limit, which could otherwise damage the internal components of the damper. The integrated Cover (dust boot or bellows) plays a crucial protective role by keeping the polished piston rod of the shock absorber clean from road debris, moisture, and grime, significantly extending the life of the shock's internal seals.
Replacing this component with the Genuine Part ensures:
✔ Shock Protection: Prevents bottoming-out and subsequent internal damage to the damper unit.
✔ Durable Performance: Made of high-quality material for reliable energy absorption.
✔ Seal Longevity: The dust cover maintains the integrity of the shock absorber seal.
Compatible Vehicle:
✔ Chevrolet Malibu (Rear Suspension)
