Does anyone know the part numbers for the bolt that goes through the lower part of the shock and the but on the back side of it? Last night I was driving along and hit 2 dips in the road and the nut broke off and caused the bolt to vibrate out. Thanks for your help!

 

nope sorry :-( but...goodluckbro

 

Thanks man I'm figuring it might be something universal but I'm not sure what to do since the old nut was welding on. Lol

 

You don't happen to still have the nut and bolt by slim chance do ya? im assuming it got lost on the road.

 

I have the one on the other side but the nut on the back side is welded to the frame.

 

I wish I knew enough about them to tell ya man. **** I cant even tell if my ride was lowered at one point or is or w.e lol

 

Haha, I'm not sure if its a general but and bolt or if its a standard cobalt part.

 

prolly some special bolt you cant buy anywhere lol

 

So much for a $5 bolt and being and easy fix.

Still cheaper then your transmission. Take your spam somewhere else. I'm trying to get a productive answer here.

 

I'd just get a matched nut/bolt and put it through the hole, with the welded nut gone it really doesn't matter what you use. Just get good hard fasteners, grade 10.9 metric or grade 8 if standard.

 

Im guessing its from being low for most of the cars life that stress broke it?

Id see if you can get a replacement bolt from the dealership, and get a grade 8 or higher bolt, and loc tite and a split washer on the bolt and I cant see it going anywhere.

 

I'm going to have to go to a fastenal or advanced auto and try to match a nut and bolt or I'll have to wait until tomorrow.

 

advanced should be open

 

Advanced and pep boys didn't have anything. Went to home depot and got a 1/2" x 3" hex bolt with lock washers. The original bolt is 9/16" x 3". Going to use these as a temp fix until tomorrow when I can go to the dealer

 

You can buy that bolt!

I had the same thing happen to me lol... I was driving over some bumps and noticed that over the bumps it was really "hard/stiff" in the rear. Took off my wheel and noticed that bolt was missing and that my shock was free.

I was like wtf haha...

Anyways I think the part number for it is 11609850. I would put some removable grade Loctite on it when you put the bolt in next time. If I remember correctly when I went to the dealership to get the bolt they didn't have it in stock and the dealership had to order it. The lady said it was the first time that anyone ever asked to order that part number :p

 

Call me tomorrow and I can get the factory bolt for you.

 

Right now I just put those bolts in that I bought today. They're a 1/16" smaller width wise and fit in there nice and snug with lock washers on. I had to put a lock washer on the back side of the swing arm where the factory nut broke off since the new one was smaller. Took it for a ride and didn't make any noises or anything. I'm not sure what the grade is on the bolts so I don't know how strong they are. Factory ones are a grade 10 I believe? I'm going to go to the Chevy dealer tomorrow and see if they have any in stock. If they don't I'll give you a call Crate. Thanks again for everyone's help! Any other tips anyone has?
