The rear shock mounting bolt broke off when i was trying to remove the nut. This is the bolt that is attached to the axle on the driver's side.

I'm assuming i could cut the remaining bolt off and have a shop weld (i'm not a welder, nor do i even own a welder) a bolt back in it's place. But how well will it hold up against a lot of DD duty, and the hard knocks i give it offroad?

Are there any other solutions out there??

You could cut the remaining bolt off and drill a hole in the mount. Then just get a bolt that fits through the shock.
