So when I was jacking my car up the other day I just happened to see my driver side shock just bouncing up and down and flopping around.So upon further inspection I seen the mount that bolts to the rearend was loose,and then I found the nut that holds it to the rearend was gone.My question is does anybody know what size that nut is??Also my Strange 10 ways are on the back and if you bounce the car up and down it seems like the bolt that holds them in is to small cause the shock actually moves up and down around the bolt....make sense? If not yell at me,but is there an upgrade for that bolt or is that ok?....thanks in advance.

call latemodel resto buddy and order a rear control arm bolt kit should come with that but call them to check

Yea thought about getting ahold of them,but at my place of employment I have endless access to nuts and bolts so....would be easy for me to get one....I guess I could just pull the mount off and take it there and find one....hmm...

yeah do that

Did you re-use the stock shock bolt? It's funny that you said this, as I noticed a few days ago that my Strange shocks also move a little around the bolt, like the bushing is too big. I will look in to it more tonight.

^^^exactly,let me know what ya find on this.

mine did the same thing now that i think about it there were spacers in the kit that you insert into the mount of the shock so that the bolt would fit snug did yall use those?

What the F I didnt get no spacers.......oh well,taking piece to work today to get a nut and gonna see if I can get a lil bit bigger bolt to snug some stuff up.

Ok the nut that holds the shock mount to the rearend is 12mm(metric b.s.) just for future reference.I got a little bit bigger bolt for the shock but may have to make the holes on the mount bigger to accept it....will keep updated.
