You have to trim the dust boot if its the rear. It's plastic and it's supposed to keep the shock clean from dirt. I trimmed mine about 1/2" and it no longer made the nasty sound (kind of like when you crush cans, that sound). I suggest cutting both of the rear dust boots cause eventually the other one will also make the sounds.

I just got my tein basics installed too. I have that loud noise from the rear too. Sooo embrassing!!! When I drove around. Well instead of cutting the rear dust boot, can i install the camber kit? Will that solve the problem too? The place I bought it from they said just cut it! No need to buy soft dust boot or camber kit!!! Should I listen to them?

Installing rear camber kit won't solve the problem.
All you have to do is trim dust boot to get rid of rear noise.
