    So yesterday when reversing into my driveway i felt a clunk from my passenger rear wheel and when i proceeded to find out what it was the shock absorber was dangling down and the bolt was missing. does anyone know what type of bolt it is and where i can get a new one?

    Or throw a similar size grade 8 bolt in and drive down to ace.

    IDK, get the highest possible then go OEM when you can.

    Get anything you can ASAP, then go to the dealer & get the right bolt.

    NAPA should have an equivalent to the stock bolt. Not likely there is anything special about the oem bolt.

    It might have a seriously long shoulder on it since it is for a shock?

    true, you want to make sure the shoulder goes all the way across both mount bracket ears for maximum strength.

    Yes, I think 91552-11260 is right, supersedes to 90105-A0297. Washer is 94622-51200 and nut is 90178-A0057

    I think it should be M12-1.25 x 60mm long. Use a flange bolt and nut if you can.

    Never heard of it happening before, but if you google it, quite a few people have lost theirs and some on both sides.

    I just checked mine for it, all OK.

    Inventive, but also seems like a fire hazard….

    not worried about steel catching fire . The bushing was already damaged . Saved the mount and potentially more
    Damage

    Agreed!

    Was more concerned about the battery breaking in half and landing on the ground, then starting a fire there.
