Ok Ladies........Ive got SweetNicas Jeep in my driveway and Ive got a problem. The passenger rear shock bolt was loose and I was able to unscrew it by hand. Now it wont thread back in. Its not the bolt b/c I bought a new longer bolt and it wont thread either. Any ideas???? TIA.....

Front or rear shock??
If its the front just through bolt it.
If its the rear, what I did was drill and tap it to the next size.I don't always drink orange juice, but when I do, I prefer to chew it. #madpulp -

Thanks for the quick replys....it was the rear shock on the axle mount - not the body mount. Finally got it thru. Is there supposed to be a nut on the end of the bolt?? I put one on each side b/c there wasnt when I was under there.Last edited by Beerman; 07-19-2009, 02:25 PM.- 99TJ 4.0 4.5 RE springs, Clayton 5in LA stretch, GenRight Armor, 35x12.50 bfg mt, currie hp9 rear w/ 35 spline detroit, hp44 w/ arb and 4340 axles, k/n fipk, banks headers, warn xd9000iComment

um
its a stud
slide shock eye over stud and tighten nut.

The shock mount on the axle itself was threaded.....And no nut on the end of the bolt.....Last edited by Beerman; 07-19-2009, 02:29 PM.- 99TJ 4.0 4.5 RE springs, Clayton 5in LA stretch, GenRight Armor, 35x12.50 bfg mt, currie hp9 rear w/ 35 spline detroit, hp44 w/ arb and 4340 axles, k/n fipk, banks headers, warn xd9000iComment
