Shock Absorber mounting hardware

'95 F250 4X4 has new shocks from previous owner...but shocks rattle a little in lower bracket because it looks like the worn, original mounting hardware was used. Seems like it needs a new bolt and a corresponding metal sleeve to fit inside the shock absorber bushing. I can grab the shock and wiggle it on the bolt.

Does anyone know of a source for just the mounting hardware? I don't want to buy new shocks just to get the hardware.

I had that problem on my old Ranch RS5000 shocks. I still have the original bolts. It was the sleeve and the eye bushing that were the problem. Part of the problem is the rubber bushing. I don't have this problem with my Rancho RSX shocks. They have poly / silica bushings.

The individual parts are available from Ford, you do not have to buy the shocks to get them.

Look on this page among the sponsors for the link to FTEPartsGuy.

Send him your VIN and your request.
