I don't see how there is any way that the spring is moving around and causing the sound. The partial weight of the car is pusing down on the spring, it's wedged between the ground and car. The back end of your car would have to be off the ground, at least, for it to move. Maybe I'm wrong but the spring moving and causing the sound doesn't sound plausable. The shock nut being too tight and squishing the bushing doesn't sound like it could be the reason either, unless it's so squished that the nut is on the metal below the bushing. Are they rubber or poly? Maybe the Mach1 shock have had enough, not something I know about.
