if your refering to the rear shock were it attaches to the frame that the bolt goes through, i've heard them called shock reducers or shock mounting adapters. or shock bushings.  there is an outer diameter on noleen shocks unlike the newer shocks, and the length as well as the bolt hole diameter.

Thanks for getting back to me on this one I have done loads of searching with no luck so far they must be replaceable because they just press into the frame oh well will just keep searching

Best bet is most likely to have a machine shop make one. Unless you find someone with a trashed frame that will remove the part for you. It is just pressed into the frame.

I think most of the thread inserts are stainless steel on Pro Flex.
