as i was dismantling my rear trailing arm i couldnt help but notice the difference in the threads for the shocker bolt,

which one is the right bolt? and are they replaceable ?

i can see that they are moke arms the one at the top is the right one, the bottom one is a lot bodge, un-sure on how to replace them though.

We were prob. drunk when we set it up last and thought this will be a good idea

The coarse one is a ring-in, looks like somebody has stripped the original thread, and either turned down the diameter or replaced it.

This thread has the Moke forum's suggested approach to this problem. Follow that if you wish.

thanks for the link ,

so just get a 4" 3/8 UNF HT bolt and then screw it into the arm itself untill tight, or drill a hole through the arm and use a nylock on the bolt ?

that sounds easy enough..

Not sure that you need to drill the thread out, as I have not done this mod to my Moke (yet).

Cheers,
