Rear upper shock mount broke from body

I have seen it...usually when the factory did a piss-poor job of spot welding that panel. I've also seen it a few times with rear coil-over but under extreme use conditions.

But in general 100K+ miles or so of rough riding on lower stiffer suspension will just punish that area. If the assembly wasn't 100%, it will separate over time.

I'd just clean the area back up, drill out the spot welds and reweld the spots and perhaps add some stitch welding.
