OEM Axle Bumpstop Color?
Where they really white/yellow/cream colored when new?
My existing deteriorating one is red/pink? You can see it in this rather dirty picture.

They were black until somewhere around 91, then they went to a offwhite/cream color.
If you don't like them squirt some black paint on them. ;-)

It's original, even has the correct part number on it . . .
I wonder if it is just "age" that causes the material to discolor to the pink / red.
Especially since the edges where it was clamped to the body are still whitish . .
Attached is a picture of the OEM bumpstop removed.

This is what the 91ish and up snubbers look like new (maybe it was mid 92 they switched but its some where close to that)
