I have a pushed roco wc. It just started making a honking sound during compression. Its not leaking and it feels normal through out the stroke. I have tried messing with compression and rebound and the sound still happens. Anyone have any ideas what it may be. Do you think i need to get it rebuilt?

Have you checked to see if the spring is rubbing on the shock body?

Spring rub. My CCDB sounded like it was quacking the whole way down the trail until I cut off that condom thing.

hmmmm mine has done that periodically but I left in on as that thing is there for a reason. I'm running a Ti spring and the coils are fatter, therefore less space between the shock body and coil.

That was with a CC and Manitou steel spring. I'm running a Romic Ti spring right now which is dead silent, but also much wider.
