im having the same problem. i realized i cant tighten the screw on top of the coilover because its stripped. not 100 percent sure but i think thats the reason with mine.. check to see if everything is tightened.
also, are your rear fenders pinched or pulled? it can be the fender popping in and out. that's whats happening to my buddies 240

i checked everything too..everything is tight! i doubled check this morning to...i heated my fenders and use a rubber mallet and rolled my fenders...
i also what thinking it was that screw on top but i tried to tighten it and it would just turn the whole thing and i didnt know the safe way of holding the coil while trying to tighten it...but it seemed pretty tight..

jack the side up and start shaking!!!!

it might be a blown strut...
Check for leaking or if the strut just looks a little to dirty or greasy...

has this been happening since you installed them or after some time

jack up that corner and make sure that the spring perch is tight enough that you can just barely spin the spring by hand. also apply grease to th spring/perches at top and bottom. This should be done on all coils.

your spring is probably not seated correctly and too much/not enough preload on the spring.
