Default Forgot to put bumpstop back on during CC plate inst.

I realized they were still on my cart after the whole thing was put together Do I need to the bumpstops on or can I do without them? What do they do, anyway?

If your strut can compress and bottom out, you will blow out your strut. OR, you will compress your springs till coil bind (metal on metal), also bad.
Take it apart, and put a bumpstop on there. You'll want to bottom out on something made of rubber, not a strut rod or coils.
