Rubber Suspension Bumpers

Yeah Van, but which number.  They have a huge catalog of products for all sorts of purposes.

I suspect that a surface glue or adhesive will not last. 
The process of bonding rubber to metal just isn't that simple in a high performance application like this one.

When the bus sits on these rubber bumpers, the rubber spreads out - this leads to shearing at the bonded joint.

A quick search yielded this site that went into some detail about bonding rubber to metal.

As for getting the rusty bolt out, I have found that heating the offending bolt red hot & immediately turning it (reheat as necessary) works sometimes - I have been known to use a welder to heat & add mass to the bolt. Gave something more for the vice-grips to hold on to too. 

Holding an air chisel on it to vibrate it as you turn it sometimes helps too - but often this is impractical.

Lin, I would be concerned that your driveshaft may be sitting on the rear axle without the stops in place. Mine was, but I also had some cradle issues. May be worth your time to drill out the rear onesand do it right. Goodluck  Tom

Tom,  Thanks for the heads up.  I just checked and the rear ones are gone too.  Looks like they have not been there is many years.  I will have to wait for the air bags to deflate to check the drive shaft issue.
