Default RE: bad shock mount

What are you workin' with? How have you determined the structural integrity of the mount?

Shock mounts don't typically rust to the point of failure without other aspects of the vehicle being much worse. Surface rust shouldn't be a problem at all.

Please take a picture of the problem area to help us out.
