    lower shock mount removal?

    Hey, has anyone ever tried to remove the lower shock mount on the drive side? Is this a threaded stud? Any ideas welcome. Thanks, Chad.

    Hey there Chad,

    All I can tell you is that the parts Fiche doesn't show it as a separate piece/stud, just part of the differential case!? However, the mount is steel, and isn't the diff. case aluminum, so it had to be put there somehow!? Perhaps someone has a trashed one they can experiment on!?

      LR Shock Mount

      I have R&R my rear shocks but never had a reason to remove the stud from the rear drive housing. Best I can remember it is a steel stud threaded into an "ear or tab" in the rear drive housing. Like;y secured with "Loctite".

          Ok, great. Thanks for the quick response guys. Just didnt want to go trying to turn it out if it was welded or something. Thanks again, much appreciated.
