I have a 93 grand cherokee limited and my rear lower shock mounts are both rusted off and I have no way to attach my new shocks. This things rides like a 2x4 on rocks, obviously, so I need to get this fixed. Whats the best solution? I know I could buy a whole new rear axle but mine is fine other than the mentioned problem. Can I buy the shock mounts from the dealer and weld them on? I've seen a few universal kits but my suspension is just stock and I plan on keeping that way. So I didnt know if they would work or not. Any input is greatly appreciated.

find a local welding shop show them the prob and let them have at it shouldnt cost more than 100 bucks to fix

Hike4It's probably right. The problem is if you had that much rust, there is a possibility there isn't enough metal left to weld onto the housing. If that's the case, then you have 3 options. . .

#1: Get a new/used Rear end with all the guts in it.

#2: Get a new/used Rear end housing and move all your guts over.

#3: Sell/Scrap the beast!

But pursue the welding angle first. . .

wow,do you have any pics of that? i live in the rust belt and have seen some gnarly rust but to actually have the brackets rust off the axle is impressive
