my rear lower shock mounts are studs that screw into a skidplate under my leaf spring. the pass side rear keeps coming unscrewed and its dropping my shock, usually only within 10 miles or so of driving. ive tried threadlocker and it hasnt worked. rather than sending the whole assembly back and getting a new one, do i have any other options? ---

i cant do that because there is just enough thread to screw the stud in, then the rest is smooth metal for the rubber eyelet on the shock ---

you could try to drill / safety wire it (might not be a bad idea in the end) but that’s masking a much bigger problem - it sounds like you’re not catching enough threads. of course the biggest problem I see is “leaf spring” 😃 ---
