Default Top mount bolt (rear shock) broken
Hi everyone,

Can it be fixed? If yes, is it under the trunk or rear seat?

Thank you!

I mean the bolts sit in top mount, i accidentally broke it.

Is it held in with a bolt or a stud & nut?

If you broke/snapped the mounting bolt, then drill it out. With or without a ez out.

Thanks grim_reaper! It is hold by stud and nut and I broke 1 side of the stud, so the other side can't stand for the shock, too.

you can see here. One other side top mount is broken, too.
