My passengers side upper shock mounting bolt snapped in half today while l was trying to take the nut off. Is there an easy way to replace that bolt? I see the upper shock mount bolt is pressed into a bracket that is riveted to the frame.


Thank you in advance.

Front or rear? 2 or 4 wheel drive?

Scott, it's the rear passenger's side.

 

Anyone got any ideas?

 

Did left rear in my 08 when it snapped off. Ford has the shock mount. You will have to drill out rivets or grind them flat and punch them out. I did the latter. Reassemble with bolts. Not a big deal.

 

Thank you Rudiak.

This is the route I am going. The whole Ford setup seemed flimsy..

I,

1) Used a grinder and "X" the rivets that hold the upper shock mount, there is 4 of them.
2) Airchissel the heads off.
3) Airhammer the rivets out from the outside.
4) I figure the only reasonable way to prevent this in the future is pictured below.




At $200 this is not cheap but neither are my Icons and I don't want to mess with a broken bolt again.
