[Closed] Quack / squelch from Rebas?

As above really, as my rockshox Rebas extend after a big bump, they make a squishing sound which is almost like a quack! Any ideas what might be wrong? They are probably due a service anyway.

Speculatively... it sounds as if the noise is coming from your rebound damping chamber/ rebound damper. It could just be a normal noise associated with the damping oil swishing through the damper after a big hit? Then again... it could be (speculatively) air in the damper chamber that is making the noise, as it squelches / mixes with the oil. Air in the damper chamber would probably mean that you've not enough oil in there. Why would that be? I dunno.

This could all be irrelevant, as the sound could be perfectly normal - I know that if I move my Rebas up and down hard they sort of make a squelch too.

I know mine are due an oil change too, so I'm gonna be following [url= http://forums.mtbr.com/showthread.php?t=431885 ]this fantastic set of step-by-step photographic instructions[/url] for advice. Good luck!
