Rear shock mounting hardware
Need a pair of rear shock mount bolts, washers and nuts.
I can't seem to find these at all unless they are included with a new shock absorber!

Re: Rear shock mounting hardware
I understand that. I don't need new shocks. Just need the mounting hardware. I took my shocks off the other day and somehow stripped one of the bolts when I reinstalled them. The metal is alarmingly soft.
I found these online... taking a gamble they are the right size and are better-made than the surprisingly crappy ones that came with my expensive KYB AGX shocks

Re: Rear shock mounting hardware
I didn't see the parts listed separately on their site but I suppose that's a good idea to give them a call.

Re: Rear shock mounting hardware
thanks! looks like the parts i ordered from speedwaymotors.com are dimensionally identical but it's good to know summit carries them.
