Are these the re-designed bump stops for the rear shocks?

I bought KYB brand replacement bump stop and the foam upper part looks exactly the same. The bottom is a bellow type that can compress and i think that is better than OEM.

Foam?

That off white upper bit is hard plastic.

It same type of material like the original. It have to be able to compress to absorb the bump. Its pretty common material for bump stop.

I just realise the KYB one does not have the slit on the side. The inner diameter is the main problem. The original are loose and allow dirt and moisture to collect and rust the shaft. This KYB one fits tight to the shaft.

I also have to scrape the inside of the upper mount for the new bump stop to be able to slide back in. There was soo much salt like build up inside the mount.

Is this picture of the KYB bump stops (SB113) accurate?

You could always file/cut the slits into the side

Yes. That is the one.

I still have clunking noise after replacing the leaky rear shock. Found out the swaybar bushing is loose. Wrap about 4 wraps of electrical tape around the swaybar to make sure its the problem before ordering new bushing. Confirmed that it was the source of the noise.

Also notice that the rear swaybar would fit in 2 different position. End link up for softer ride or end link down for sportier ride.
