My left front strut likes to make this nose when you hit a bump of when out on the trail . it sounds like the spring like popping or the spring rubbing I took the strut out on looked it over took it apart and didn't find anything that looked wrong I put it back still have the same problem only on the left side . Any ideas please help

My son's 84 Brat does the same thing.

I installed new strut 3 to 4 years ago and has made this clunking noise after that, may have done that before but can't remember.... no idea. Some day I may take it apart but I have no idea...

 

Spring in upside down? not set in retainer? ?? I looked at all the possibilities and have yet to put my finger on the issue????

 

If you ever figure you it out please let us know.
