<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span style='font-size:
10.0pt'>Hi all,<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span style='font-size:
10.0pt'>So last night while driving the upper mounting bolt for my right front
shock decided to depart the vehicle and go off on its own on the mean streets
of Brooklyn.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span style='font-size:
10.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span style='font-size:
10.0pt'>Unfortunately it also took the washers and bushing with it. I can find
sources online for the bolt and washers but I can’t seem to get the bushing
without buying a new shock.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span style='font-size:
10.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span style='font-size:
10.0pt'>If anyone has one they wouldn’t mind parting with, that would be a huge
help. According to the parts book it’s 111 413 371A. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span style='font-size:

<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span style='font-size:
10.0pt'>Dan, who is local to me, has graciously offered to check his storage
space tomorrow because he’s pretty sure he has a spare set of shocks in there.
But in the event he isn’t able to locate them, I figured I’d post here in case
someone else has a spare.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
