The original solid 4" tailwheel and associated bracket is junk. Small wheel with odd geometry. I had one for awhile and had the same issue with the loud banging every time I went over a crack. After only a few flights the pivot bolt was getting ground down from hitting the pavement going over cracks... Not to mention on grass it would leave a big trench in the grass...
I changed over to a Matco 6" pneumatic tailwheel and it eliminated both those issues. Highly recommend doing that as an upgrade!
