Default Koni SR-T rear bushing

Hello,

I had the nut on my rear Koni SR-T back out, turns out i lost all the hardware, bushing, nut and through bolt. I called Koni to get the pn or see if I could order just the bushing and hardware and apparently they don't sell parts for the "entry level stuff". I would assume this same bushing is used on a lot of shocks. anyone know where I could get a hold of one? don't really want to spend $85 on a new shock when I can buy a $15 bushing?

I think I can accommodate you.

That's weird Koni wouldn't see you the parts, I needed some parts for the same shocks two years ago and the guy I talked to set me right up no issues. Looks like firstyr has something that will work though!

The OEM shocks have a 14mm x 2.0 thread stud, so the bracket's hole has to be able accommodate that. 9/16" is very close and is usable. 14mm = .551' 9/16" = .562" only a .011" difference and fits right in.The bolt/studs with either 14mm or 9/16 are very rare. Aftermarkets are either 5/8 fine thread or 1/2 fine thread. The ones with 5/8 aren't usable unless the bracket's hole is opened/enlarged to accommodate, but then shocks with the 14mm/9/16 would be loose if when you installed those. The 1/2 inchers are useable and would be slightly loose in the hole, but proper tightening with a good washer works good.
The QA1s' I was running I had one stud with the 14mm/9/16 and the other I used a 9/16 bolt. The KYBs' currently on I don't know what they are.

Back story here.
I'm 73 and retired. When I retired, I went to work part-time mornings at a Tuffy automotive center. In 2017 the owner wanted to retire. He couldn't find anyone to take over the franchise, he couldn't find anyone to take over the place and operate it as a private auto business. So at the end of 2017 he started selling everything off. Lifts,tools,compressor,tire balancer & mounter, brake turning machine,exhaust pipe bender, furnace. I got a lot of stuff out of there, and he was glad I was taking the stuff because of lack of dumpster room.
As in the pictures, also brake hardware, front wheel drive spindle nuts, hose, plastic tubing, coiled tubing of copper- steel- SS, various threaded stud, larger suspension bushings, all the fuses of styles and amperages, various shaft seals, and a lot of other stuff.
