Was doing a k-member, shock, and a-arm swap today and I found major rust damage. What is the item sku for the components that are between the shock and the body so that I can get some replacements.

Looks like the front strut mount bushing. Mine had to be replaced when I swapped the front springs/shocks.

Those mounts really dont look that bad - you can still easily see threads. Ive seen some that one big giant glob of rust. Soak the threaded end and nut with some PB Blaster, clean the threads with a wire brush, and that nut just may come off.

I'd sand blast them and make your decision from there

Get a wire brush and some PB Blaster, should be good to go.

Driver's side is fine, passengers is rusted all the way through. I know that one of them is the shock mount, is the other one the upper a ARM bracket?
