Re: 71 C10 rear shock bolts breaking

As Dale mentioned, there should be a rubber snubber mounted to the chassis above the differential housing to prevent the housing bottoming out on the shocks....

LMC has them under 30-1875....around $10 each...

Question...Is it the upper mount bolt that breaks or the lower one? The lower one is in single shear and prone to move around if it is not tightened to specs....
