What I failed to mention was that as I was replacing the driver's side rear shock that the nuts on the U bolt responsible for anchoring the shock and supporting the leaf spring was quite loose and unfortunately rusted that way. Took a couple hours of penetrating oil, and impact wrench and a breaker bar to finally get it loose enough so that I could back off the nuts a bit and then tighten them back up.

And yes... I purchased it a few months ago.
