Rear Shock Mount Fell Out

Properly torqued nuts do come off. Back in my street bike racing days every nut needed to be wired or bolt pinned.

A FWIW update:

 

Done a few dirt roads and one serious off-road trip into the majestic Sonoran Desert I live in.  Off-road included serious articulation on extreme inclines (forgot to check my inclines in the DIT ); boulders, big rocks, washouts, loose rock, that kind of stuff.  Fun!  That truck is very capable in pretty challenging terrain.  I like it better every day. A little Stevie Ray Vaughn on the Bose made the "test" that much better.  

 

Crawled under with a wrench this AM.  Mount bolts are still tight.    Locktite?  Maybe........

Just a heads up from the "For What It's Worth Department"

 

Started hearing something coming from the back when I went through deep dips and especially going over those speed control bumps in parking lots, like some loose pipe or 2X4's were bouncing around in the bed; and the back end was a little "bouncy".  Nothing in the bed, so I crawled under and noticed the top right shock mount bolt was gone, and the top of the shock was whacking the mount, frame, and underside of the bed.  I have a dealer-installed factory 2" Rancho Iift on my 2019 Z71 Silverado.  

 

Took it in to the dealer, and while it was on the rack I talked with the suspension technician guys.  One of the techs said he'd seen 5-6 of these, on stock suspensions and a Trail Boss, always the top right shock mount.  Like, it's a "thing" with these trucks.

 

So, just letting y"all know that you might want to keep an eye on yours, maybe crawl under and take a look every once in a while.  Maybe even the next time you have it in the air for something like an oil change or something, put a wrench on the bolt(s) or even pull it out quick and put it back with some locktite.  

 

What size bolt goes into it ?
