The rubber in the top attachment fell out of my shock. Is that replaceable
or am I SOL?

Sounds like you didn’t have a washer over the outside nut or it wouldn’t have come out. You can probably get one from an old shock.

Actually I probably have a bushing for a Bilstein that I could mail to you. But get washers for all your shocks that fit outside of the bushings behind the nuts. They compress the bushings a bit to make it more efficient and keep the bushings in place.
