Yeah, that happened to 3 out of 4 of mine. What I did was cut off the remnants of the stud, then drill a 3/8" hole thru the frame where the stud was. Of course you start with a small drill bit and work up to a 3/8". For bolting on the shock I used a heavy grade 3/8" bolt and washers, and put a spacer sleave over the bolt, which gave it an outside diameter that snuggly fit the rubber shock bushing. As I recall I had to cut the sleave to length so it was no more longer than the shock bushing is wide.
