HELP! Broken shock bolt. Safe to drive home??
Halfway to work on my 34 mile commute I heard a bunch of sounds like metal hitting my under carriage while on the highway. Long story short one of the front shock bolts let go. Truck feels fine, I keot hearing clunking but couldn't notice anything physically while driving.
1 - Is it safe to drive? 2 - Is the frame threaded or is it a nut and bolt setup? 3 - What is the correct hardware to use? 4 - Why would the PO use a stack of washers like they did? Both shocks were like this. I wonder if it is to make it clear the frame. Maybe they arent the correct shocks? Broken shock bolt is passenger, intact is driver. I would appreciate any feedback. I'm a long ways from home, really sucks. My truck is not lowered BTW. Pics coming up....
