FWIW - I had almost this same exact noise on my MCS 2-Way Remotes in the rear.

I chased the noise for 2 years. Thought it was shock but, then figured the sphericals on the top hat were shot. Replace endlinks in the rear too

Noise only occurred at low speed sub 35 mph. Worse as you slowed down and hit more uneven payment.

Sent my shocks into MCS for warranty and revalve because the fronts were leaking oil at the canister (V2 Canister design on V1 Seals)

Found the rear cans “slightly” leaking oil which most likely caused the noise by not letting the piston re-seat. We upgraded to a coated piston offering by MCS that wasn’t available to OTS builds to reduce initial nose in and they’ve been fantastic ever since
