the neons have struts all the way around...
did you have the strut mounts replaced as well?
if not then thats most likely your problem

look at the bill, it will have an itemized report of what everything cost. Look for "REAR STRUT MOUNTS"

or you could just take it back to them and complain...

to fix the mounts, you have to remove the struts and springs
