    1 are they dirt Jams? take them into a shop and pay for fixing or send back to CRC. for warrenty (maybe) fixing.

    get your terminology correct.

    you say you have rebound, you then say you have no damping. WHICH IS IT?

    want to make then stiffer add more preload, if you do not have a manual download one from Marz's webby.

    My forks are currently making a clunking sound as well. I'm under the assumption its the bushings that have worn out. I'd take it to your LBS for a propper diagnosis.

    Just wind the rebound down a bit more. they can be a little clunky anyway.
