I need help finding the correct replacement part
Hi. This is my first post here, and while I love my car I am by no means a knowledgeable enthusiast. I manage basic work on my car. So I would really appreciate some help.
Today I had to replace my rear wheel hub assembly. That went fine or at least it seemed to. I went for a test drive and I heard and felt a lot of banging in the rear drivers side (same side I did the hub on). I lifted it back up to look around and my shock has apparently blown through the upper mount. I don't know if the rubber bushing inside blew out or what. Seems to be a common problem? It is all OE right now. I am trying to find the correct replacement part and having a *really* hard time with it. I doubt I can post links here but I went to a ford parts lookup page and found what I think I need. The problem is there are two options. I will list as Ford part # and (Motorcraft Part #): FR3Z-18A161-A (AD1118), or FR3Z-18A161-B (AD1123). The issue is that when I go to the ford parts page and search those, you get an expanded view of all the related parts, and when I mouse over the part I need they BOTH say they for WITHOUT performance package. I have the performance package and 20" optional wheels, which apparently matters. I bought it used with those on already. So.... I don't know what I actually need for my car. I am leaning toward just ordering the AD1123 because it looks right, but I don't want to get it, try it, find out it won't work, etc etc.
Just in case links do work with new accounts, here is where I am looking: https://www.varsityfordparts.com/sea...tr=Shock+Mount
I know someone is going to tell me these are trash. I wholeheartedly agree. I also know an aftermarket solution would be much much better. But all the aftermarket solutions are $150-200 like the Steeda ones I found posted on the forum here. I do not have $200. I do have $60.
If anyone knows and can tell me I would really appreciate it.

It's a 2015 gt premium with the factory ford performance package. I checked rock auto. That still doesn't really tell me which of the 2 brackets i need. They list the same part with next to no description beyond "meets or exceeds oem specifications"
