Default Strange clunky sounds

Guys,

those sounds drive me crazy.

they apprar everytime i start moving after the stop.

seems like the brake pads rebounds?
maybe the rear sway bar bushings? (034)

what else?

its a one time clunk just when you start moving.

anyone else got this? Thats on RS5

I have heard there's a TSB on a front suspension piece.
Apparently, the bushing is built in to the suspension piece and even when examined from the outside, lubed, etc., it doesn't resolve the problem.
Until the piece is removed, they cannot tell the bushing has actually cracked or damaged.
So the TSB indicates an updated part.
I have the same problem, just waiting for my next dealer trip.

Excelent, could you provide reference to TSB ? Whats exactly AUDI is replacing?

On numbers of videos and other posts ive read recently, today i took my car on jacks again, examined pretty much every bolt, every moving part on the entire rear suspension, so..... soo... i found out that the springs are the ones who squeaks.... nothing can be done, however planing on ABT HAS springs to be installed shortly, hope that will go away

I cannot find the TSB, however, the bushing are not noticeably damaged on the a-arm until removal.
I would have the dealer look at the squeak BEFORE you make any changes.
If your spring install doesn't go as planned and the noise remains, the dealer will make you return it to stock for diagnosis anyways.....
It might be a best step 1.....
