My 5th element seems to have lost its ability to rebound by sitting in the garage for a couple weeks. When it returns from compression the shock just clangs. It has done this a couple times in the past but it always has gone back to normal after a few compressions. What do you guys think the problem is?

That kind of sounds like the same thing that happened to my 5th in Mammoth. For me, when the shock would rebound it would have about an inch or so of play. Mine didn't do it all the time, buy every now and then it would happen. I didn't really notice it when I rode the bike, but I had it re-built, nonetheless. Since it was during a race, Progressive was there, and they hooked me up with a free re-build. I would say that you probably need to have your shock serviced. How much time do you have on your shock?
