Broken shock mounting bolt...

I didn't know this repair was going to be such a pain in the hip (pocket) and break the bank.

Last night I couldn't find a regular nut, 1/2"-20 tpi. They were all course (13 tpi) at Home Depot. Except, I found one dang castle nut 1/2"-20. It fit the studs real nice (I brought in the studs for fastener fitment).

The castle nut was $1.75 after tax. But the shocks …

After taxes the shocks were $74.41. Minus $15 summit bucks. Minus, there's a $40 KYB rebate going on through 9/30. So, $74.41 - $15 - $40 = $19.41.

Plus the castle nut and my total is $21.16. Talk about breaking the bank! (I jest of course).

I'm gonna make a run down to McDonough tonight and pick up the shocks. And will install tonight … if I'm not too tard.

I wish all repairs would go this way! :D
