Looking at the other rubber bushings I would guess the rubber on the shock end deteriorated to the point the shock and bolt became loose and the continual motion caused the bolt to elongate the hole. Don't think that particular hole issue is common -- or at least that pronounced -- but Craig had a couple of the mounts or mounting bolts break on his 55. He replaced with the 56 version.

That issue was discussed in a post several years ago but unfortunately it looks as if the photos got lost somewhere along the line. You might want to check the other fastening points.https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=14961&post_id=151020#forumpost151020
