My thinking was that stored energy due to high spring preload was causing the harsh bang when traveling over drops in pavement. The spring fires off when unloaded over the drop. That’s why I suggested trying increased rebound damping. It’s just a theory and just something to try. Not a guarantee but I did find an improvement when I tried it on my wife’s car. Of course there is a sweet spot that may or not be easy to find. Ultimately I gave up and we sold the car.
