Default Easy quick fix for front lower shock mount

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.
