    broke upper shock mounting bolt

    Hey everyone. changed leaking shocks for new ones and while tightening acorn nut on upper shock bolts, voila, over torqued and snapped off bolt. looks to be welded from rear. Any ideas on a fix for this problem would be so very much appreciated. Thanks, Dave

    Here you go, Dave! There are a lot of ways to fix it:-


    A real nut case....and a bolt to.
