No....The part that you put through the shock.

When you but new shocks you get the shock and the little silver thing. You have to shove that little thing threw the Hole in the NEW shock. And you use the little silver thing to mount the top of the rear shocks.

No i thought you were referring to you breaking the shock bolts. Spray a little silicone in the bushing and push it through. Its a tight fit but it will go through.
