Wrong. There's only one pinion snubber under there. I've got the Competition Engineering adjustable snubber. It works pretty well, but I did have to trim a little off the snubber tip to get things set up the way that I wanted it. I just cut about 3/4" off with a hacksaw then used my Dremel with a sanding drum to round the rubber tip back to a nice shape. 'Course my car sits pretty low so that probably explains why I needed to trim it.

I was confusing the pinion snubber with axle bumpstops. I was thinking that they were the same thing. Thank you for correcting me.
