Give a rust-weakened or broken shock mount a solid replacement with the Dorman - OE Solutions Shock Absorber Bracket / Shock Rust Repair Kit, part number 523-288, designed to help restore proper shock absorber function. It is a direct-fit replacement for many trucks, among them the 1999-2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 1999-2006 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 and 1999-2006 GMC Sierra 1500. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.

Dorman describes this part as a suspension shock absorber bracket, and it is also cataloged as a shock rust repair kit. Both names refer to the same bracket.

  • Ideal solution: Takes the place of an original mount that is rusted, broken or damaged from collision impact, and helps restore proper shock absorber function.
  • Ensure fit: Designed to match the fit, function and performance of the original shock absorber mounting bracket on the listed applications.
  • Durable construction: Made from quality materials for durable, reliable performance.
  • Trustworthy quality: Backed by a U.S.-based team of product experts and more than a century of automotive experience.

The shock absorber bracket anchors the shock to the vehicle so the shock can dampen suspension movement. Signs it may need replacing include heavy rust or rust-through at the mount, cracks or breaks, collision damage, or a shock that no longer sits securely. Consult the vehicle service information for the installation procedure, the correct fasteners, and whether the original fasteners may be reused.
