That's happened to me big time after my retainer bolt fell out, the insert was banging around inside the strut body. Check that both bolts are on there and on TIGHT, they'll make noise even if they're just loose (I know lol)

well looks like im a little confused. your saying to adjust them a quarter turn from full soft in the rear? the adjustment says i have 5 half turns of the shock or 2.5 turns. so should i go one half? i have them ready to install and i set them at 1 full turn (say i guess 40% of full range) is this off? sound like it would be. i'd love to just do this once!

hey wang, quick Q. i bought mine used, adn the previous owner didnt use any thread locker on the cartridge bolts. looking at mine, the hex is fairly well beaten, do you happen to now the thread pitch/dia. and bolt length? i wan to replace these and do it right. but i dont have a 2nd vehicle right now so i cant take these apart and then go to the store.

Wangspeed was your 1/4 turn suggestion for running pedders? IIRC I've seen that you run the YYZ now. I'm putting mine on today or tomorrow and i have them at 3/8 of a turn from full soft with Pedders and a PRS hardcore bar.
