I broke the threaded part of my shock absorber stud. the stud is riveted on. Does ford make a replacement? Well the ford parts man said that the radius arm will have to be replaced. I have drilled a hole through the stud tapped it and put a nut and washer on the other side.

 

i do believe so. call a dealer to find out for sure but i am 90 percent sure that they do

 

And if they don't you can always check out the local wrecking pic a parts lot.
