How do I reinstall the LCA bumpstop?

When I changed out my coil springs, I inadvertently pulled the bumpstop out of the lower control arm...I can't get it back in. I push, but it just "squishes."

I tried "lubing" it with silicon spray...didn't work.

Can anyone help?

If I remember correctly, it fits into a slit in the control arm. You install it by sliding the retaining tab into the end of the slit (a wider cut in that location) and slip it in.

A little lubrication and a set of pliers gently working the rubber tab as it sticks through the LCA slot was sucessful for me.
