Knock on front suspension

[4EVer]

Since new my car has had a noticeable knock on the front suspension. After 15k miles it seems to be getting worse so the car’s booked In on Monday for the OPC to investigate. About 8 months ago I asked a different OPC to take a look when the car was in for a software update but I was told that the ‘engineer’ had been out in the car and not heard anything untoward so I had to accept their ‘expert‘ diagnosis. I have to point out that I’ve never driven another Taycan so couldn’t say whether it’s normal or not. What I do know is that if I’d noticed a similar noise in any of my previous 911s or 918s, I’d have been concerned!

The noise, which sounds something like a tubular suspension arm being hit by a wooden mallet, is particularly noticeable at low speeds on rough roads and over speed humps. As it has become more noticeable I can now feel the worst knocks though the steering wheel.

Has anyone else had anything similar, and if so, what was the diagnosis?

Did you find what was causing this? I am having a simillar knocking on low speeds and rough surfaces (we have a lot of them). It's even worse when the suspension is in LIFT. Car is in warranty but it was always a PITA to fix a suspension noise in official dealerships with my previous cars so I would like to point them in some direction when I visit.

I had the same issue on my 2023 GTS Sport Truismo. Came out as a air spring fault which they have replaced as part of the warranty.
