I damaged the thread on mine (both bolt & nut) when replacing the rear shocks (Disco 1).
One of my pointed me to a new shock mount and nut (was £15).
Britcar (UK) Ltd > NRC7981. SHOCK ABS MOUNT TOP REAR DEF/DIS (P)

if you end up having to replace the mount, the sedimenter will be coming off too! LINK
