Bumpers on Axle

Hello all helpful! I have a 1997 GMC Jimmy. I recently discovered when changing my front brakes there are what look like orange colored bumpers at the base of the upper axle. There are deteriorated and will need replacing. I was wondering if anyone out there knows of the technical name or part name so I can order a set over the web or on ebay (if lucky). Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated. Many thanks!!!!

I can't believe know one knows what I am talking about. when driving you can hear a vaibration noisy since the bumpers are worn out. They are only about 1 1/2 inches in diameter and have a swcrew sticking out of it to bolt to the axle. Maybe this is better clarification!

I'm pretty sure they are aftermarket parts, the originals would have been black not orange. :2cents: You shouldn't really be hearing any noise as these only come into play when your really bottoming out the vehicle.
