Last week I posted about my steering and handling not staying consistent. Believe I tracked it down to a broken shock mount on the lower front left. Possibly maybe someone jacking up on that stud one time? Has there ever been any record of Bilstein shocks sticking or hanging up and braking off the stud. I pushed on the shock and it goes in and out. I guess maybe when it could find it's way to the top of the a-arm it would work till it fell off.
Any thoughts out there, On bilstein shocks in general and if the lower shock mount is a known weak point.
Thanks in advance

I do not think the Bilstein cause the broken mount any more than any other brand. I have seen several GMCs where the front lower shock mounts have been re-welded.

Yes. I was unable to find any pics of shock stud repair and I remember
updating that a few years ago when I started successful repair work on
those.

Negative Dennis. That's just a couple of photos of the brace
reinforcement. The photos of the actual repair process are not there and I
do not know how to add them.
