fmugur is on a distinguished road
The strut is held in place by the three bolts on top and the two large bolts on the wheel carrier. They are all torqued right. Also, I had it inspected by two independent shops and they both point it to the struts.
The strut supposed to hold in and release slow the wheel weight after being compressed. In my case it feels like nothing holds the air spring tension and the weight of the wheel. It's pushed down fast and the knock is when the strut is fully extended.

It's been a few months trying figure it out. I have hard time to believe that both struts have the same problem. If that's the case then it would be a common problem and some of you here would have run into it already. I am going to call Arnott and see how common this is. Any feedback from you guys would be appreciated.
