They look like body mounts to me, n I don't think there should be a gap that's prob why it's a bumpy ride!!

boot floor supports, between chassis and boot floor, mine have a teeny tiny gap between em too (maybe not even a piece of papers width) and I dont have a bumpy ride.

Do you think it's worth me changing them then? It's a lot more than a papers width gap on these...

nope...

gotta remove boot floor and quite a large number of spot welds..

do your best not to worry bout it til boot floor rusts away making access much easier..

it wont be affecting the ride, must be summat else,

It's not just the shocks there are springs as well...

and the A-frame ball joint...

also if it's a later vehicle it could be your self-leveling air-suspension.

They are your boot floor supports and they are exactly as they should be.

think what it is , that these pads are flexing , and the boot floor is bowing , making the back end very soft indeed.:screaming_bug_eye_f
