Thanks they have said nothing about insulators. It makes the noises but it also bounces and rides like sh!t. I’m trying to get them to put in regular shocks but they are so confused on that. They keep saying idk if we can do that.

I've had both rear shocks replaced on my 21 and it sounds just like what I was experiencing. I would push them to address both sides at the same time. My other side started making noise a week after I got the first side replaced.
The insulators on top of the shocks go bad prematurely and it seems most people shocks are lasting anywhere from 6 months but less tan 2 years from what I been researching. Attached pic with insulator circled
Looking at the photo you attached you circled the non leveling one, but it appears that the absorber is different between the standard and leveling shocks. I'm curious if the non leveling absorber can be used on the leveling one, and that would be the improvement or not. Probably not, but thinking out loud.
My Telly was built in March of 20'...woo hoo.
Given that it’s a known flaw with a published TSB, they may fix it for free. Check with your service department, show them the TSB, and see what happens.
Thank you! How can print out the TSB to show them?
Good luck and keep us updated. I’m pretty sure it should be covered so if the dealer is acting out try another dealer or if that doesn’t work approach Kia directly.
