Question about 8.25 rear end pinion snubber

The snubber should be like any other bump stop. Not supposed to ride on it. Not supposed to be any driveline vibration regardless. Pinion angle would be a lot different if the rubber bumper was where it belong. I suppose some of a drive line vibration would dissipate through those long legs under that bump stop but.... who knows? Only 2 bolts in removing it for trail.
