My mechanic tells me that there is some egg shaped thing that goes on the rear. I'm thinking it's some sort of ball joint that goes in the bottom of the strut. Apparently they only sent 1 in the kit. Do guys know what could be and where you can get them from?

No, that's the bumper. So it seems you got everything in your kit--4 springs and a bumper.

It's the pinion snubber that mounts in the center above the rear end. The stock one needs to be removed and the shorter supplied part installed.

Get a new mechanic if he doesn't know what it is. He's missing basic suspension knowledge.

Yes, he knows nothing about lowering springs, just stock stuff.

He's missing more than that. How about an ability to follow instructions that come with the kit?

I don't think my mom gave them to him

I was in California when they gave it to him. I'll be home tomorrow but apparently he figured it out because she called and the guy's dad (dad/son operation) said it was done.
