will these front bump stops work on my car?

I need to replace the rubber bump stops on my lower A arms but I am having trouble finding the correct one that fit my application based off of some of these online sites' application info. I did find these
Amazon Amazon
.

Question is, will they work on our cars even though the Amazon application chart they dont. They sure look like the ones I removed from my A arms.

Let me add that I will be adding new Koni yellows in a few weeks and I did see the bump stops that Spohn sells that apparently slide over the top of the strut. Do these take the place of the A arm mounted rubber bump stop?

Thanks James. From what I can tell now, my car did not have OEM rubber bump stops on the A arms. Someone must have installed some red ones like the ones I posted above. Now, with that being said, can I use the rubber bumper stops that Spohn has that go over the shaft on the struts instead of buying new rubber stock ones? I would post a link but I am on my phone right now

Yes you can use ones that slide over the strut shaft, just measure first as different struts use different size shafts.
