So it appears the SS is a different lower control arm than most, except the really cheap base trucks. But I didn't see that hole mentioned in RWD replacement control arms.ENERGY SUSPENSION 39102G {3.9102G, 3-9102G} Black; Control Arm Bump Stop Set Performance Polyurethane; Pack of 2 Info

Well...there kinda is. My SS is the only one I've seen with the push thru bump stop. I realize the actual control arm is the same...just a different style of mount for the bump stop.No such thing as a ZQ8 control arm. Other than the bump stop, they are the same part as any other 2wd S10.
interesting. ive never inspected my upper arms for a bump stop. they are probably mia on mine...There are bump stops on both my control arms. The bolt on one that can be seen on the lower arm and the pull through type on the under side of the upper arm. Are you saying your truck has a pull through type on the lower arm?
The stops are on the lower arms.interesting. ive never inspected my upper arms for a bump stop. they are probably mia on mine...
you are talking about a 2wd model, correct?
thanks
Interesting. Mines a 2003 and definitely the bolt in style. I wonder when they changed types?The stops are on the lower arms.
Yes, 2wd ZQ8.interesting. ive never inspected my upper arms for a bump stop. they are probably mia on mine...

ive never seen that on any s10 from 1984 through the colorado chassisThe control arms on my SS use a push thru type of bump stop.
yesi wonder if the upper bump stop can be pushed or pulled in with the arm still attached...
These are almost identical to OEM ZQ8, and should be a lot smoother than the polyurethane bump stops: SPC 95339 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015H7C7Q/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1does anybody know how tall the front lower bump stop should be? mine is a 2000 xtreme 4.3l
i have these: Energy Suspension 9.9101G
basically it is a cut-to-fit bump stop
i suppose i have a few pairs laying around and could try different heights and report back too
i am all original, sans the bilstein zq8 front shocks, lower bump stops, and 225/60r16 tiresThese are almost identical to OEM ZQ8, and should be a lot smoother than the polyurethane bump stops: SPC 95339 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015H7C7Q/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
If you're messing with a bunch of non-stock parts, proper bump stop height can be figured out by removing the spring and cycling the suspension with the wheel & tire installed.
