This definitely needs to be a sticky. There's been a lot of posts about this problem. I had my rear shock replaced at 3000 miles.
People have described the noise as clunking, clicking, and popping. The noise is most obvious when you're traveling at low speeds (< 10mph).
When you take your car to the dealership for inspection, do not be vague and say there's a noise coming from the back of the car. Tell them it's the shock making the noise. Some dealers are not aware that this is a common problem. Fortunately, I went to a dealer that was aware. It took them a couple of days to order the shock and the install was an hour.
BTW, rear shock replacement is done through the trunk. The mechanic won't touch the wheel.
