I could be incorrect, but based on my experience, I believe there could be something faulty in the design of the shock. Especially after seeing the number of other people who are experiencing the same.

That’s good info. I do find it hard to believe that this many of us got defective right rear shocks, but it is a unique part number from what I remember. So I guess it’s possible a big run of that part number weren’t built to specification or something.
I don’t think I’m going to do anything about my car at the moment, though I may check the availability of that shock and mount. I feel like I should put some more miles on mine before I start replacing parts. I’m at about 600 miles right now.
