air spring

One of the two rear air spring I replaced on my e500 is making a popping sound when driving slow and especially on a little rough pavement. I checked everything and seemed to be installed ok. The sound is coming from the top of the spring when bouncing the rear of the car. both air spring were bought new, arnnet brand..
When driving the car, the popping sound is the only sound I hear and bothering me a lot. I lift the car and remove the rear wheel to check and look for the problem whenever I get a chance but with no luck...
Any insight on the problem would be appreciated
Thank you

Didn't Arnot give you lifetime warranty?

I will check on that. I bought it from carpart.com.
Do air springs make this kind of sound when they are bad?
