Front Shock to axel mount,

Hambo44 · Dec 7, 2015

Hi all,

After taking of my front left shock absorber. I noticed that the flange washers that go through the mounting on the axel had cracked off. The shock has obviously been rotating in this and caused this damage:

Basically how do I fix the axel? And do I need a new shock? Really frustrating if I do because the shock itself is working perfectly!

Thanks,
Jonathan.

cut out enough metal to weld a fresh piece in with suitable sized hole drilled in or buy a new bracket and weld that to axle,
you need another shocker too

Right ok, Thanks! Where could I get a whole new bracket. Is it worth replacing the shocks on both sides? They quite new old man emu's that the PO put on.

Also is it worth putting the old man emu ones on again. Worth the extra?

You might b able to build it up with weld over several passes, grind it flat and drill it to get the hole round again. The bushes must have been in a bad way! When I did mine the shafts on the end of the shock absorbers were badly necked, but they hadn't worn the axle brackets away like that.

Nice heavy duty steering rods.
