Default Rear shock mount

Hey all. Wondering if anyone has insight as I've tried to find this and can't seem to come up with an answer. Installing qa1 shocks on my goat and my driver side rear shock mount where it's threaded is thread less. So I need to find a new o e but can't come up with a part number or determine even if that part is its own piece or connected to everything else down there. Is it just the knuckle or is it part of the hub or brake setup. Any help would be appreciated.

This might be what you're after. $470 was the best price I saw for a new one.

Part Number: 92095195

No problem.

You might want to check some yards. I hear Cleveland PickAPart is good.

I would try a thread insert repair before I changed out the whole hub.

how does that hold up structurally over time. Never attempted it myself but looks fairly easy. I just don't want to half a** it since it's my suspension.

Have you got a picture of the threadless part?
How does it compare to the other side?

I "think" G Force makes a longer bolt that you can put a nut on the back also. If he does, that would take care of any wiggling.

The coilovers have their own lower mount that's threaded and then gets welded to the knuckle so I need the threads for that specific piece. Currently I just have a bolt and nut holding that side on until I get it fixed. And I'll get out and snap a photo tomorrow morning I

Just get a longer bolt and nut it like mentioned earlier. I found mine pretty easily at a good hardware store and it's stronger than the stock bolt. I made my own shouldered spacer out of D.O.M tubing too if you need more tire clearance.

That shock extension is one piece and is threaded. See the last picture that's passenger side. It threads into the control arm then the shock bolt goes into that extension

Put an insert into the threads. Then put a nut on the backside. It looks like there is enough meat on the spacer threads for it.

Or go with nogo's suggestion of a longer bolt and spacer.

I bought it as a roller and it had no rear shocks. So I started the suspension parts and apparently that thread was bored out somehow
