Recently started making a loud clunk as the wheels leave the ground - like it's bottoming (topping?) out with no cushion in there.
It's not like I'm getting massive air or anything - it's just on those little hops off of curbs or over small obstacles... or even over the undulations of rough ground.
Tried cranking the rebound all the way in one direction, then all the way in the other...no improvement.

Time to disassemble and change the seals?
It's likely the rebound piston is busted, not your seals. I messed mine up in my Skareb and I just took out the rebound and the fork out. For the riding I do it, it's not too bad, and it's super-light!

I'd try just changing the oil first. (Clunk you describe sounds related to negative spring, not positive.)
