As I said it's exactly the same problem I had with this car (my old track car) and we had to strip out the damper to repair & modify it. You can see where its torn through the rubber top mount.

Same thing. You need to strip out the rear shock and replace rubber top mount.

Can you tell me where you got those uprated ones? I think I may need them too.
