Easy quick fix for front lower shock mount
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
On my repair week, found the fronts lower shock mounts was totally shot, thats where all the rattling was coming from.
The dealer wanted $17 each, which is great, the bad, it will take two days to get. I couldn't wait, the little bit of rubber that was there, I destroyed during the removal of the lower control arm.
Went to Autozone and found some aftermarket bushing for sway bars by Energy Suspension for $12.99. They look about the same diameter for the metal rod, so I got home and the rod fit, had to wiggle it in. Since the bushing is thinner, I used two bushing for each shock and they fit in nice and tight, no rattling.
Hope this help others out.
