Noise
2004 A6 S-Line 2.7
83K miles
When I go over a speed bump (slowly) or go over a dip in a road, it makes a sound like my car is bottoming out (it's not obviously). Any idea what that could be?

Mine does that, it's almost like a crunching sound, right? I know I have bad lower control arms.

Thanks~
Thanks for the help, guys. I did a very thorough visual inspection of the back seat and the trunk. I found nothing heavy in there that would cause the issue. I even did a double-check just to make sure I wasn't missing anything (human or otherwise). I was truly hoping it was going to be that simple.
I took it to my local shop and had them do a similar visual inspection. They found nothing either. However, they suggested doing an inspection on the front end where the noise was coming from. Ta da - they found it!
I ended up needing upper control arms, shaft outer boots, and sway bar c-links....whatever the heck all this is.
