Nope, not normal. Turn the adjuster knobs all the way clockwise. It should be a tight fit. Push down and listen. Still hear it?

Lol.

That adjusts the tension of the fork. You could make it loose or tight, its really a personal preference. I keep mine 3 turns counter-clock from the stiffest.

You dont want it to hard though.
