i've recently put some drop off 3's onto my hard tail and they make a lound squelchy noise especially when when i'm standing or after having done a wheelie or jump. Im afraid i dont know too much about suspension and im wondering Is this normal? My 66's don't make this noise and i havent touched those since i got them.

Thanks in advance for any help

    it is normal. your 66's should as well to some degree it is the oil going through the valves.

    My drop-offs have been happily more squelchy than my 66s for the last 4 years.

    I put a heavier weight oil in my drop-offs though.
