When a workshop or a distributor searches for OE 52722-SM4-9610, the enquiry is usually a precise one: the buyer already knows the application and wants a strut bump stop that seats on the same rod and bore as the original. It is a small, low-cost item, but it is replaced often, so the practical questions are whether the elastomer matches the original duty, whether the shape returns after repeated compression, and whether the supplier can hold the number at a price that still leaves margin in a distribution programme. This page sets out the specification we supply against this reference number, the numbers it interchanges with, and the way overseas buyers normally search for and verify a suspension bump stop.
A Honda-style part number is not random. The leading block identifies the component group, the middle block points to the platform or model family, and the final block is a revision code. In 52722-SM4-9610 the prefix 52722 places the item in the front suspension strut group, while SM4 identifies the Civic-family platform the stop was originally designed for.
That structure is useful in two practical ways. It tells you which section of the suspension the part belongs to, so a quotation request can be checked against the correct exploded view. It also tells you that the same physical stop may appear under more than one number, because platforms were carried across model years and catalogues were updated at different times.
Honda numbers are regularly superseded, and a stop released under an early number can be replaced by a later one with no change to the geometry. We list this item under 52722-SM4-9610, and the same reference appears in catalogues as 52722-SM4-961. If your system shows one of the numbers in the cross-reference table below, send the number you hold and we will confirm whether it is the same part before you commit to an order.
The table below lists the specification set we supply against reference number 52722-SM4-9610. Buyers comparing quotations should treat the OE number, the fitment list, and the material grade as the three items that must match before price is compared, because a cheaper offer that changes the elastomer grade or the wall profile is not the same part.

The reference number identifies the application. The Bonpora number 4110100 is our internal item code, which you can quote when you contact us or when you ask for a sample. The fitment line shows the platforms the stop is listed for. If your catalogue lists the part against a different model or year range on the same platform, send the complete vehicle details and we will cross-check the application before you place the order.
Bump stops are normally traded by reference number rather than by measured size, because it is the wall profile and the internal bore that make the part sit correctly on the rod and the seat. If you need measured values for a catalogue entry or a technical data sheet, send us the drawing revision or a physical sample and we will return the dimensions in the format your system requires.
The numbers below are listed against the same front upper strut bumper in Honda catalogues. Supersession chains are common on this platform, so treat the list as a starting point for verification rather than as a guarantee of identity.
| Number | Status in catalogue |
|---|---|
| 52722-SM4-9610 | Reference number used on this page |
| 52722-SM4-961 | Short form of the same reference found in several catalogues |
| 52722-SE0-006 | Earlier number listed as replaced by the SM4 reference |
| 52722-SR0-003 | Earlier number listed as replaced by the SM4 reference |
| 52722-SR0-004 | Earlier number listed as replaced by the SM4 reference |
| 52722-SR3-003 | Earlier number listed as replaced by the SM4 reference |
Confirm the position and the model year before ordering, because front and rear stops on the same platform are different parts and are not interchangeable.
Polyurethane suits this application because it can be tuned. Changing the formulation shifts hardness, rebound, and compression set, so one basic shape can be produced for a comfort-oriented passenger car or for a heavier-duty use. Compared with conventional rubber, a polyurethane stop generally resists tearing better, is less affected by oils and road salt, and holds its shape for longer under repeated compression.
| Property | Polyurethane stop | Conventional rubber stop |
|---|---|---|
| Repeated compression | Holds shape well across the service interval | Tends to take a set earlier |
| Oil and abrasion resistance | Good | Moderate |
| Hardness options | Wide range, tuned per application | Narrower range |
| Load capacity in a small profile | Higher | Lower |
For a wider view of the shapes and hardness grades available, see our polyurethane bump stops range, which covers replacement stops as well as parts produced to customer drawings.
Most purchasing enquiries reach a supplier through one of a few predictable routes. Knowing which route a buyer used helps you answer with the right information in the first reply.
This is the most common route and the most precise one. A buyer who searches for 52722-SM4-9610 usually knows the application and wants a direct replacement. The reply should confirm the reference number, the fitment list, the material grade, and whether the item is in stock or produced to order.
Buyers who do not yet have a number search by description, for example polyurethane strut bump stop, foam molded bump stop, or jounce bumper with dust boot. These enquiries are broader, so the reply should explain the platform coverage and ask for the vehicle details or a sample.
Searches that start from the vehicle, such as front strut bump stop for Honda Civic or Civic del Sol suspension bumper, are usually placed by repair shops and small distributors. A clear fitment list and a cross-reference table keep these enquiries from turning into long email exchanges. Related parts are grouped in our chassis and suspension section.
Importers frequently search for a China strut bump stop factory or manufacturer rather than for the part itself, because they are evaluating a supply channel. In that case the useful information is capacity, moulding method, quality system, packing, and lead time. If your interest is a long-term channel rather than a single order, our shock absorber parts programme covers bump stops together with related suspension components.
Buyers who already have a mould, a drawing, or a competitor sample often want the same geometry under their own brand. Custom work typically needs a drawing or sample, an agreed hardness grade, and a packing specification. Details of that process are set out under custom parts, including the information we need before a quotation can be issued.
The stop is compressed before the damper reaches the end of its travel, so it protects more expensive parts at the same time: it prevents metal-to-metal contact inside the damper, limits the peak load that reaches the strut mount and the body structure, and keeps the spring within its designed working range.
Because the part is inexpensive, it is often left in place during a suspension repair. The result is a new damper fitted next to a crushed original stop, and the repair comes back. Selling the stop together with the strut is usually the cheaper outcome for the end user.
For a part this small, quality is judged in two places: at goods-in inspection, and in the field after a year of service. A consistent production process keeps batch-to-batch variation small, which is what stops a distributor from receiving a shipment that fits differently from the previous one.
Where documentation is required for your market, tell us at enquiry stage which items you need, for example a material certificate, a dimensional inspection report, or a batch code on the carton. These are prepared to order rather than bundled automatically, so listing them early avoids a delay at shipment. Bump stops are also commonly bought together with other chassis and suspension items, and a single mixed container is a normal way to reduce freight cost per unit.
The stop is listed for the Honda Civic 1992-1998 range, including Civic del Sol, in the front upper position on both sides. If your catalogue lists the number against a wider model or year range, send the complete vehicle details, including the model year and the front or rear position, and we will confirm the application before you order.
It is the short form of the same reference that appears in several catalogues. The numbers listed in the cross-reference table above are also shown against the same front upper strut bumper. Send the number you hold, or a photo of the old part, and we will confirm whether it matches before you place an order.
Yes. Send a drawing with the key dimensions, or a physical sample for reverse engineering, along with the required hardness and the expected service conditions. We will confirm feasibility and the tooling route, and OEM and custom design support is available as a standard service rather than a special arrangement.
Minimum quantity depends on whether the part is ex-stock or produced to order, and on the packing configuration you need. Standard delivery time is 15-30 days after order confirmation. For a first order, tell us your target quantity and destination port and we will confirm the quantity that makes the freight cost workable.
If you are sourcing this reference number for a workshop, a distribution programme, or a private-label line, send us the quantity you need, the destination port, and any packing or documentation requirements. We will reply with the price, the confirmed application list, and the delivery schedule for the quantity you specify.
