Does anyone ever hear what sounds like a crunching noise from their suspension? My Taycan Turbo with PDCC makes a crunching noise from the frontend when I enter a driveway from an angle or make a turn from into an uneven surface from one side of the car. It's odd and the dealer says it is a normal sound as a result of the PDCC. Before I go to another dealership, just curious if anyone has the same issue.

It’s not PDCC. It’s the Ackerman effect. Tires are skidding across the pavement due to the suspension geometry. Worst in cold weather.

Totally normal on a Porsche.

Thanks so much! But the sounds is from the suspension, not the tire. Yes, more crunching sounds in cold weather.

Oh yeah sometimes it sounds like the front suspension is being ripped from the car. It’s the tires. Google Ackerman effect and you’ll find a description of it.
