Changed a shockie recently? That looks like a shocker mounting stud to me.Originally Posted by willvine
Hey i found this on top of my rangies motor . It looks like it has been cut off to remove it from where it came from . but from where.
My rangie is a 3.5V8 EFI has me stumped.

Looks like someone got in there with the grinder.

its definetly part of the flux capaciter/GPS mount.
I was thinking that also. i might try the thread against an old shock. The shocks in the front were replaced just before i bought the car so could be?
but if so why cut it off.?
Ok, just checked against some old shocks and the stud in the pic is way to big. a shock stud is 10mm and this is 14.55mm. It could be a flux capacitor bolt well... that sounds cooler anyway.
When the nuts seize.
Also, you sometimes get people who have no idea how to change shockies.

Well the bigger thread makes me think of McPherson struts, maybe a mechanic put it down in a fit of abstraction... although the factory shockers IMO run bigger threads than 10mm.
McPherson strut shafts make ripper feed stock for the lathe, hard chromed 22mm steel looks cool. Many of my tail stock tools I made myself from this stuff. And of course you cut off the thready bit and chuck it in the scraps bin if your aim is good.
