My front struts
More like my front left one sounds terribly awful. Simple speed bumps in town sounding worse. Just now I feel like it bottomed out.... I have 8k miles on the car and I know of some f sport models have some leakage at about 15k range.
Ooouf sounds bad, anyone else with issue?
Guess I'm going to service

First I get the phone call saying " sir I don't hear anything wrong with it" smh
I told him to get one the mechanics to take the wheel off please, calls me today and sees it leaking. Sigh...
And told me they fixed all the rattle I pointed out.
Oh navi has an update so maybe now my Bluetooth won't keep disconnecting. Turning signals now to 5 and to open windows and moon roof with key fob.
So good news

I wonder what the longevity of the f-sport struts are. I have a similar adaptive suspension on my acura and ended up with leaking struts at 70k, come to find out the struts are 10x the price of normal struts and I am one unhappy camper!

Reviving this old thread guys, searching "suspension clunk" turned this up and it's the closest I have been able to find to what issue I have going on.
I have a 2013 F Sport, and the front left is making a clunk noise but only when I'm going over a bump at low speed (under 10mph) or a speed bump (under 2mph... very slow over these). I'm no suspension expert, but with the little research I have done, I believe I'm having a strut bottom out, or loose upper control arm. I've not disassembled to see if I can see anything myself. What has you guys' experience been with this issue, and have you all noticed any longevity issues as well? I'm considering repair for the interim, but may go the extra mile and do a complete suspension overhaul with Blisten, down the road. Any input would be much appreciated.
Additionally, this issue is only noticed from the front left wheel / suspension. Occurs during low speed, not noticed during highway driving. And lastly, scheduling new tires for Monday that should take care of a small vibration during braking that is co-relative to deceleration speed, which may have an impact on this issue as well.

Other culprits could be sway bar end links, or upper strut mount bushing.
