The pinion snubber or as Ford calls it (Axel Bumper) sits right above the center of the rear axel.

The stock pinion snubber or Axel Bumper is pictures on the right, the urethane snubber that came with my H&R spring is on the left.

The only 2 reason I could think of for replacing it would be; if the originally was cracked or coming apart rendering it almost useless, or if you’ve installed lowering springs. Other than that it keeps the floor pan from hitting the rear axel with either a heavy load or hitting the rear suspension while it's traveling to far upward due to bad shock or worn out springs.
