I have MCS 1-ways and also sometimes hear a clunk from the rear in street driving when entering briskly into bumpy or inclined 90 degree turns. On my car it sounds like it's coming from the inside rear on such turns. To me, it sounds like something is moving inside the shock body.

I could have sworn that I read somewhere on here a while back that the clunk in the rear was due to the internal construction of the MCS rear shocks, and that it was normal and harmless. But I can't find the post(s) regarding this issue. Maybe other MCS owners can chime in.

In my case, the clunk isn't frequent or annoying enough (yet) to get me to contact MCS and ask them about it. But I imagine they'd be the best ones to ask. I've emailed them in the past about other stuff and they've always replied promptly.
I have MCS DA with 550/650 with Vorshlag rear mounts. The clunk is metal to metal sound unless you’re running the factory modifiers RSM.

I feel the same clunk at high speed bumps like the shock is bottoming out but the clunk is related to the RSM had the same issue with E36s.

Cheers
