There is a supposed to be a rubber between the spring and the mount at the bottom, but I can't see that sounding like metal on metal because of the load. I would think it should be more of a creak or groan.

I had a knocking sound when my Konis were first installed which I finally put down to the old strut tower not being cut down enough. I must admit though that I'm not certain of this because I also replaced the inserts at the same time with new ones under warranty.
