Rear Suspension Rubber Bump Stops (Pair) – Toyota LandCruiser 70 75 78 79 Series
Replace your cracked, perished, missing or collapsed rear suspension bump stops on your Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series (HZJ70/HZJ73/HZJ75/HZJ78/HZJ79/VDJ78/VDJ79), 75 Series (FJ75/HJ75/HDJ75/HZJ75), 78 Series Troop Carrier or 79 Series Pickup with this pair of heavy-duty rubber bump stops from Machter Auto Parts. Direct replacement for the factory units – prevents harsh axle-to-frame contact, protects shocks/springs/trailing arms and diff on big hits, and restores proper suspension travel and ride quality on corrugations, whoops, ruts or loaded off-road use in Australia.
Key Features
- Sold as a pair (left + right rear bump stops) – complete ready-to-install set
- Direct bolt-on fit for Toyota LandCruiser 70/75/78/79 Series (solid rear axle models, 1980s–current)
- High-density natural rubber – progressive compression, excellent rebound and long-lasting durability
- Reinforced metal mounting base – secure bolt attachment to chassis
- Factory-style shape & height – matches OEM for correct clearance and compression
- UV & ozone-resistant compound – holds up in harsh sun, heat and wet conditions
- Compatible with factory or aftermarket coils, shocks, trailing arms and lift kits
Benefits
- Prevents axle/frame slam – stops harsh bottoming out on big drops, whoops or heavy loads
- Protects suspension & diff – reduces damage to shocks, springs, trailing arms and diff housing
- Restores proper suspension travel – better articulation and ride quality over rough terrain
- Quieter & smoother ride – absorbs big impacts without jarring the cabin
- Essential for solid-axle 70/75/78/79 Series – stock stops wear out fast on lifted or heavily used trucks
- Great for work utes, remote tourers or resto projects – keeps your Cruiser protected and comfortable
Fitment Notes

- Professional installation recommended – bolt to factory bump stop mounts, check clearance at full compression
- Replace both sides together – old stops wear unevenly and cause imbalance

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main function of these rear rubber bump stops?
Rear bump stops act as critical chassis cushions that prevent harsh metal-on-metal contact when your rear leaf springs fully compress. When driving over deep ruts, carrying heavy payloads, or towing, they safely limit the upward travel of the rear axle housing, absorbing sudden impacts to protect your chassis rails, shock absorbers, and leaf packs from structural deformation.
Which LandCruiser 70 Series models are these bump stops designed to fit?
This high-quality pair is designed specifically for the rear leaf-sprung suspension setups of the Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series family. They are a direct bolt-on fit for classic and late-model variations including the 75, 78 (Troop Carrier), and 79 Series (Single and Dual Cab Utes). Please verify your original mounting base shape to confirm a precise match before purchase.
Are these bump stops sold individually or as a complete pair?
This product listing includes a complete, matching pair (two individual bump stops). This allows you to simultaneously refresh both the Left-Hand Side (LHS) and Right-Hand Side (RHS) of your rear axle, ensuring even impact dampening and symmetrical suspension performance across the rear carriage.
What are the symptoms of old or deteriorated factory bump stops?
Over time, exposure to engine grime, UV rays, mud, and heavy compression cycles causes factory rubber to dry out, split, crack, or completely break apart from its steel mounting plate. If you notice a violent, unmitigated metallic clunking sound from the rear when traveling over rough speed bumps or heavily rutted tracks, your bump stops are likely missing or fully degraded.
How difficult is it to change out the rear bump stops at home?
Replacing these units is a very straightforward, introductory DIY mechanical job that typically takes under 30 minutes. The bump stops mount securely to the chassis rails using standard metric bolts. You only need a basic socket set or spanner to undo the existing hardware, clear away any surface road grit, align the new heavy-duty assemblies, and torque the bolts down cleanly.
