Under shock force, it allows the clevis mount 3 hole plate to move and 'knock' against the inner body. (sounds like a small hammer hitting).

I remember two things:
-increase torque of the bolts a bit higher
-I put a paper gasket between the clevis mount and mating surface to reduce movement
-other option is to cut a custom rubber gasket (thin), the pressure would prevent movement.

The Clevis mounts used with MCS (supplied by bimmerworld) are not slotted or forgiving in any way. I have the same exact setup, with slightly different spring rates as OP, and do not have any noise.

Can't speak for Bilsteins mounts.
