Shock bolts.

As some of you are aware, we've been less than thrilled with some recent suspension work we had done. Well as I've been checking ouemail Ex over, I noticed that the lower bolts on the front shocks are loose. Not where they're coming off but where they tighten to a certain point but thenough just turn...is this normal? Oh yeah I have the TGC dual fronts shock mount.

Nope, not correct.

Sounds like the non threaded shank portion of your bolt is to long.
Remove the nut and inspect, you can likely use a washer or 2 to compensate

Inspect the bolt hole in the mount. A loose bolt will pound the mount and beat it into a mess.
