Right Side Transmission Bolt?
Right Side Trailing-arm Bolt?
Rear Shock Tower Bolt?

Is there a prize for the correct guess?

It's called a sway bar or stabilizer bar end link (SBEL).

if your stabilizer bar is lose, it may be that the extra movement caused by not having it hooked up has worn the bushings in the control arms and banhard bar. if the rearend is moving sideways then it will pull on the mount to the side and up when you take off. worn or lose motor mounts will do the same so check the motor mount bolts and make sure there tight. is the mount lining up when you replace it?
