Default Koni Yellows installed with Eibach pro kit now shock mount broken!
I just got the Koni Yellows installed with the Eibach pro kit. Car looks good and drives way better than stock struts. Had the stock ones for 80k. Totally gone. Well after driving for around 60 miles, I started hearing clunks and rattle as if something is flying around my rear right fender. When I got home I checked everything that could've made the the clunking noise and I found out that the rear shock mount broke! I had these professionally installed so I don't know what went wrong that cause the shock mount to break on me. Are they made for aftermarket or they're just old?

Probably just old and worn or a bad install. I'm running the same setup on my Pu and no problems up to now.

I'm trying to find the OEM rear bump stops and shock mount, but can't find the part numbers.

Don't think Mazda sells the rear mounts by itself. They sell it with the shocks and bumpstop as an assembly.

torque spec for shock mount is about 25 or 30 lbs if i remember correctly, which is not much at all ... possible that the person who installed it over torqued it.

Ya one of the studs broke and they replaced it for free. Yes they had to order the whole shock assembly in order to get the mount. Well at least I got a new bump stop on one side. I always carry heavy things in my car so that might have caused it to be more worn out. But now that everything is fixed the car handles wayyyyy different than stock. Most people change the struts at around 50k but I didn't notice how bad they've gotten until I hit 80k recently. Like I get wheel hops when I turn then I know that I really have to get them changed. Now I corner like crazy I hope the other side doesn't break on me too though.

Mounts are available stand-alone, but they don't come with bumpstops (those only come with a new shock)...

RockAuto is a bit cheaper, but if you have Amazon prime the shipping is free anyway - so it would be pretty much a wash.
