Dodge/Jeep strut bump stop 68063781AE is a polyurethane suspension cushion manufactured in China by Bonpora and supplied to importers, wholesale distributors, parts chains and independent workshops worldwide. The reference is listed under Bonpora number 4110143 and cross-references OE number 68063781AE from the Chrysler (Mopar) parts system. This page explains the function of the component inside a strut or shock absorber assembly, publishes the complete technical data, and answers the commercial questions trade buyers raise most often - volume pricing, OEM and custom support, packaging, warranty and lead time - so that a first enquiry can be prepared precisely and answered without a long exchange of messages.
A strut bump stop, also listed as a jounce bumper, bump rubber or auxiliary spring, is the progressive elastomer element mounted on the piston rod of a strut or shock absorber. It works in the final part of the suspension stroke: when a wheel drops into a pothole, crosses a sharp ridge, or the vehicle carries more load than usual, the cushion compresses and stiffens progressively, absorbing the travel that remains before the damper reaches metal-to-metal bottoming. In doing so it shields the damper, the top mount and the surrounding body structure from peak shock loads. Once the cushion has flattened, cracked or crumbled, comfort at full compression falls away and the damper wears faster - which is why professional workshops treat this low-cost part as a routine service item rather than an optional extra.
The bump stop slides over the damper piston rod between the top mount and the dust boot, working alongside the protective sleeve on most assemblies. Reference 68063781AE reproduces the original geometry of the Mopar part: a bore of approximately 13 mm seats over the damper rod, the 58 mm outer diameter forms the contact surface inside the strut housing or spring seat area, and the 83.5 mm free height provides a balanced progressive compression stroke. That combination - a mid-range bore paired with a mid-range free height - describes a general-purpose cushion of the class commonly specified on SUV platforms, where the suspension has to stay progressive under both empty and loaded conditions. When cross-referencing between related numbers, confirm all three dimensions against the removed part rather than relying on outward appearance, because a cushion with a different bore or free height will engage at the wrong point of travel and behave quite differently in service.
Polyurethane bump stops usually fail gradually rather than without warning. Symptoms reported by workshops include knocking or thudding over sharp impacts, a noticeably harsher ride whenever the suspension reaches full compression, and visible cracking, powdering or permanent flattening found once the strut is opened for service. Because the part sits hidden inside the assembly, most technicians inspect or renew it whenever a strut, top mount or dust boot is replaced anyway. Fitting cushions in pairs on the same axle keeps both sides of the suspension balanced, and the modest unit cost makes renewal the simplest way to protect a new damper from repeated bottoming damage.

The three dimensions place this reference in the middle of the size range: the 13 mm bore is wide enough for the sturdier damper rods typical of SUV suspensions, the 58 mm outer diameter gives a generous contact surface, and the 83.5 mm free height suits suspensions with a moderate amount of remaining travel. Because several neighbouring references in the same catalogue look similar in photographs, a match should always be confirmed on measurement as well as on the printed number.
The reference 68063781AE follows the ten-digit format used across the Chrysler (Mopar) parts system, which covers the Jeep, Dodge, Ram and Chrysler brands. The eight-digit core identifies the component, and the letters after the digits denote successive design revisions, so AE identifies a specific revision level of the same basic part. Within that system, suspension bump stops and related chassis elastomer parts sit in dedicated groups, and parts listings associate this family of numbers with SUV applications on Jeep and Dodge vehicles. Applications can still change between model years, engines, trim levels and suspension options, so the marking on the original part remains the decisive identification detail. When the marking on a removed sample has worn away, send the three measurements together with any surviving characters of the code, or a photograph of the complete strut, so the correct reference can be verified before production is scheduled.
Revision suffixes deserve a note of caution for buyers: AA, AB, AC and later letters can refer to successive part revisions, and supersession chains do not always run in a simple line. Distributors who keep the revision letter in their records, together with the measured dimensions, avoid most of the confusion that arises when two catalogues list different letters for what appears to be the same cushion.
Many professional buyers source suspension elastomer parts by type and measurement rather than by vehicle model - for example a strut bump stop with a 13 mm bore and a 58 mm outer diameter, or a moulded polyurethane cushion with a free height near 83.5 mm. Specification-based sourcing suits bump stops well, because the three dimensions largely decide whether a replacement seats on the rod and engages at the intended point of travel. Measure the inner diameter, outer diameter and free height of the removed component, record the material and the Shore hardness where a datasheet is available, then compare those values with catalogue data. The polyurethane bump stop catalogue lists references together with their dimensions and OE numbers, so a cross-check can be completed in a few minutes before an enquiry is sent.
The three dimensions do different jobs, and all three need to match. The bore decides whether the cushion seats firmly on the piston rod without play, and it also influences how the stop is retained inside the assembly. The outer diameter governs the contact surface and must clear the surrounding spring seat or strut housing through the full range of movement. The free height sets the point in the stroke at which the cushion begins to work: too short and the damper bottoms out earlier than designed, too tall and usable travel is reduced, so the suspension feels harsh over normal road inputs. Keeping all three values close to the original specification preserves ride quality and protects the damper, which is why reputable suppliers publish dimensions rather than numbers alone.
Dodge and Jeep vehicles are predominantly SUV and light-truck applications, and that duty profile shapes what buyers should look for in a replacement cushion. Sport utility suspensions carry a wider spread of loads than passenger cars - the same vehicle may run empty on a weekday and fully laden with roof cargo and towing equipment on a weekend trip - so the bump stop has to stay progressive across a broad band of compression forces. Higher vehicle mass also raises the energy that reaches the cushion at full compression, which is why micro-cellular polyurethane with a controlled density gradient is the preferred material for this class: it compresses progressively instead of bottoming abruptly, and it recovers its shape after repeated heavy strokes. For distributors serving markets where these vehicles are used on unpaved roads or loaded near their limit, stocking a dependable SUV-class cushion pays back in fewer warranty returns and fewer damaged dampers on customer vehicles.
For buyers who work from vehicle data rather than from measurements, a simple three-step workflow keeps enquiries accurate:
The same workflow applies to single-reference orders and to mixed containers that combine bump stops with other suspension components.
Bump stops look simple, yet their behaviour depends on details that are easy to get wrong. Production at the Bonpora factory follows a control plan that trade buyers can audit at any time. Incoming polyurethane raw material is checked per batch for density and viscosity before it enters the mixing line. During foaming, cell structure and density are monitored so that the progressive spring rate stays inside the agreed band. Finished parts pass first-article and in-line dimensional inspection against the drawing - bore, outer diameter and free height are measured on every production lot, and Shore hardness is sampled at defined intervals. Compression set and fatigue tests run on a scheduled cycle to confirm that the cushion keeps its rebound behaviour after repeated strokes. Packaging is checked last, so parts leave the factory clean, dry and protected against deformation in transit.
Bonpora manufactures polyurethane suspension components in China and exports them to distributors, chain stores and workshops across Europe, North America, South America, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. Buying factory-direct removes intermediary margins and puts the buyer in direct contact with the team that controls tooling, material and inspection. Standard references such as 68063781AE run on existing tooling, which keeps minimum order quantities moderate and lead times predictable at 15-30 days depending on volume. Every order ships in neutral export packaging, so distributors can retail the parts under their own brand, and OEM or custom design support is available for buyers who need a derivative geometry, a different hardness or private-labelled packaging. The wider shock absorber parts programme covers the companion components of the strut, allowing mixed orders to be consolidated into a single shipment with one set of export documents.
Around every bump stop sit the parts that age with it: top mounts, dust boots, rebound buffers and strut accessories. Workshops that service a strut normally renew the elastomer set together, and distributors therefore stock these references side by side. Buyers assembling an assortment for Dodge and Jeep applications can combine this reference with related suspension items in one purchase order, and the custom parts service extends the same supply model to references that are not yet in the standard catalogue - drawings or samples in, quotation and prototype out. Consolidating an assortment with a single factory also simplifies quality management, because material behaviour and inspection standards remain identical across the range.
The reference belongs to the Mopar suspension catalogue and is associated in parts listings with SUV applications on Jeep and Dodge vehicles. Because applications changed between model years, engines, trim levels and suspension options, always confirm the fitment against the chassis number, an electronic parts catalogue or the removed part before ordering. The sales team can assist with application checks when buyers send the VIN together with the enquiry, and matching on the three dimensions remains the most reliable confirmation method.
The reference is moulded in micro-cellular polyurethane, a closed-cell elastomer foam that compresses progressively instead of bottoming abruptly. Compared with conventional rubber, polyurethane offers better resistance to compression set, ozone and aging, and it holds its density and hardness more consistently from batch to batch. In practice this means the cushion keeps its rebound behaviour for longer, and replacement intervals become easier to predict for workshops and fleet operators.
Yes. Sample orders are the recommended first step for new buyers. A sample of reference 4110143 can be shipped quickly for dimensional verification against the removed part, and the sample cost is normally credited against the first bulk order. Checking bore, outer diameter and free height on a physical sample takes only a few minutes and removes most of the risk from a first container order.
Every order ships in neutral export packaging suitable for onward distribution under the brand of the buyer. Standard production lead time is 15-30 days depending on order volume, and OEM or custom design projects are quoted separately with a dedicated timeline. The reference carries a 1-year warranty covering material and manufacturing defects. Payment terms, freight options and volume price breaks are confirmed in writing with every quotation.
