its normal to me

one time i got rid of it....but then the strut was bottomed out....so thats why

its something about the coils on the rear springs where its together is like really close, so when u hit a bump, they split and hit eachother again....thats my guess

Ive been experiencing the same problem with the Prokits. Im glad to hear someone say that its the progressive rears binding up on themselves. That was one of my theories, since the coils are so tightly packed in the rear to begin with, when installed and stationary.
