I suddenly have a doubt regarding what I ordered, can you please advise me : I ordered the plastic bushing (black part on the picture above), when you are all talking about the rear shock mount are you talking about these plastic bushing or the metallic part below this bushing ?

I'm a bit lost if I have to order the part N°32 or 33
(even the 30-31 If I understand this one gets corroded as well)

In my case it was loosened BOTTOM bolt. Apparently I didn't use enough force when tightening it after replacement of shocks. After a few kilometers it started making this sound at every slightest bump. I used a rod and then hammer to tighten it as Hulk would. Silence since then.

The shock mount that commonly corrodes and breaks is no. 32. If the 2 bolts securing this (no.35) break off , then it would be easiest to change bracket no. 30-31 Not cheap. If a noise over bumps is what you are going after , Check stabilizer bar to frame bushings and bottom shock bolts first.

The stabilizer bar-to-frame bushing is the first item to check. It’s the cheapest and easiest. With the car sitting normally on flat ground grab the rear stabilizer bar and try to shake it. If it rattles, the bushings need replaced or at leased temporarily shimmed with a nickel
