if you mean just the 'pin' that the shock eye mounts on, replace it with a grade 8 bolt .... and make sure you have good springs and the correct shocks so it doesn't get mangled again

I have broken upper front shock mounts, a better question is 'are there any replacement mounts out there' or is it find a donor and use that? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | as I said, depends on just what's 'broken', but yes, you'll be looking for a donor or a bolt, there aren't any repros that I know of - some new shocks come with a replacement mounting stud if the riveted on mount plate is OK
