Default Knocking sound when at low speed or full lock reversing

Hi,

New to the forum, but was hoping someone would have an idea about an issue I have with my Q5. When breaking at low speed, driving at low speed or reversing the car at full lock there is a knocking sound, which sounds like it is coming from the front of the car. When driving the car we cannot hear the sounds, it only seems to happen when we are doing the above.

Any ideas where to start?

Thanks.

It's a 64 plate with 55k on the clock, just had a major service done.

Thanks

There is TSB for your 2014 Q5...…..

That type of noise could also be produced by bad control arm bushings.
