Thanks for that! I thought I just needed a nut for the stud on the rear? What size is that? Just pulled into the hardware store parking lot. Lol.

You need a metric nut that fits on the bolts that I listed above.


No really... You would find the nuts and bolts at the same places. Hardware store or automotive.

Just call around a little before heading out.

Lol. I figured as much but I thought you were referring to the bolts that held the bracket on the frame and not the nut for the shock stud on the bracket. Nonetheless, I got the bolts and same size nuts.

That isnt the quad shock mount, that is the mount for your normal shock in the back....The bolt broke and now your shock is just hanging from the top mount..

Im concerned that I didn't use large enough washers. Is that a problem?

Why do you think the washers might be an issue?

Idk. Shouldn't the rubber bushing be covered up or does it matter?

I don't think it matters. The washer should be a little bit larger than the face of the nut. Those shocks should only be taking force at one angle (minus a nominal amount of slop) and the bushings should be physically attached to the metal bushing inside of it.

Pretty common for people to remove them... Surprised you just noticed yours weren't there.
