I verified that the other side remained tight. I verified that the length hadn't changed, tightened it, and the sound was gone. I'll recheck them in a few hundred miles.

At least I discovered that once the locking ring is loose, the whole shock can be threaded into or out of the adjustment perch while it remains mounted in the LCA, so adjustment of the shock length is easy.
That lock ring is secured from the factory and not adjusted.

Could be a QC issue, but first time I heard of it. Will make Ohlins USA aware of it though.
