So it sounds like the damper element has an air pocket that allows it to move before hitting the fluid.
I know the sound and it can sometimes be sway bar links or ball joints but when all of that is checked out, it is usually the shock that has lost some fluid and it allows to much movement inside, creating this tock, tock noise under very special circumstances of rough road.
I hear it from the rear Volvo shocks nowadays when they have lost a little bit of fluid.
Don't know why a brand new shock would have it. Did you bleed the shock (pump it up and down several times) before installing it?
Sometime it can be an air pocket locked somewhere that doesn't get released with the short movement when installed but it requires a set of full strokes before it is bled out.
