Default Lower shock bolt

I’ve got a 2014 with z51 magnetic ride. The lower bolt backed out and I can’t find the part number. Anyone know where I can find that out? All the sites show number 11547031, which isn’t right.

Good deal that you found the bolt’s part number. Got to wonder why the original backed out?

Any idea if the part number is different between the base and Z51 with Mag ride?

thinking that was never torqued down in the first place. Bought the car with 11,000 miles on it last February. Still had the original tires and battery in it! Tires even had matching tread depth and date codes front and rear. Noticed a rattling sound about a month ago, but couldn’t find it. Then it got real bad so I parked it, lifted it and saw what happened. Very odd.

The shock is leaking oil and should be replaced.

That shock does not even look that bad imo, seen much worse that were still good. Mine looked like pure hell when it was time to change them out.

Attachment with GM diagnosis for "how much leaking is acceptable" on a shock.
Photos can be hard to interpret, but to me that shock looks due for replacement.

On our 2017 Z51, all 4 mag ride shocks were replaced under warranty at about 25k miles.
