A damper (10) includes a rod guide assembly (20) which is attached to an open end portion (28) of a cylinder (12). The rod guide assembly (20) is adapted to guide a piston rod (18) and to seal damping fluid (14) within the cylinder (12). The damper (10) includes a compressible rebound bumper (22) disposed between, and attached to one of, the rod guide assembly (20) and a piston (16). The damper (10) includes a rebound travel limiter (24). In a first expression, the limiter (24) is adapted to limit the compression of the bumper (22) when the limiter (24) is in contact with the rod guide assembly (20) and the piston (16). In a second expression, the limiter (24) is in contact with the bumper (22) and the one of the rod guide assembly (20) and the piston (16), wherein the limiter (24) has a modulus of elasticity which is greater than that of the bumper (22). A damper subassembly is described which includes a compressible rebound bumper (22) and a rebound travel limiter (24).
