Well I'm looking for suggestions on what to do about fixing a broken shock mount on my truck. It is the driver's side rear shock where is mounts to the axle. The mount broke down the middle.

I'm wondering whether I should get the old mount welded back together, or get a new mount?

If I get a new mount am I better off getting one made or going to the dealership to see if I can get the just the mount, then have the old one cut off, and the new one welded on?

Any ideas?

 

When this happens at work, we use a new mount and weld new mount to frame.

 

So can I buy this mount at a dealer? if not where?

 

I couldn't keep a bracket on there with the 4/6 drop and some power to the wheels.
Finally went with a 4 bar / air bag....problem gone and no axle wrap to boot.

 

Could I see some pics of the 4-bar or is a air-ride tech 4 bar? Kind of curious I have kp components 6 link, and I still have wheel hop.

 

This truck in question is a low hp truck. He simply needs a fix not a suspension overhaul.
Basically where did you get the bracket from? Dealer aftermarket? Any chance you have a part number?
Just trying to fix it not drop alot of coin ya know.

 

yes dealer and yes on the welding it back in, and can find them at most of the parts stores
