it could also be them running too low and the springs moving about when you hit the bump...mine did this until i raised it a bit...the spring should be slightly compressed and not rattle about when its jacked up
oh yeah on full lock mine is grinding somewhere...I'm hoping the tracking will sort that as I had all the bushes sorted and the wheels not straight any more!!

to get mine to sit right ive had to drop it a fair way on the back end so the spring does rattle bout a bit lol
