What does the noise sound like? I've noticed a weird noise coming from my driver side when the suspension is compressed and I didn't know there was any lining up to be done with the bump stops...this may be what I've been hearing too!

Mine has quieted down now, but it did literally sound like a small but powerful fart at full compression. My springs take bumps great, like speed bumps, no problems. Only a shallow dish shaped hole will make it bottom slightly. I have located the 3 places on my daily trip that caused these bottoms to occur and now I hit them a tad slower and no problems at all.

Like you guys I've noticed a couple places on my daily commute where I can guarantee the noise will happen. They're usually like you said, a dish-shaped hole where the suspension is unloaded and then compressed. I don't feel like tearing the suspension apart to realign the bumpstop so I guess I'll live with it. At least now I know what the likely source of the noise is.
