Is there something wrong with my suspension?

[A4SlineWA]

Hi All,

I have an 2011 S4 w/ADS and I put on some H&R Sport Springs. The car has 66K miles and I've had the springs on for 6K miles. I'm noticing sounds when I slowly go over a speed bump or when I rotate my wheel more than 90 degrees.

The sound is nothing pronounced, more like, hard to describe. LOL It sounds like maybe something "might" be loose; light thudding sound. Normal driving or fast acceleration and stops don't produce this sound. Has anyone experienced this? Please share your insight.

Thanks!

improper torque on the top strut nuts?

Pretty sure I am hearing the same noise. Is the sound you are describing like a subtle hollow sound? My car does this only at very low speeds (< 10mph) but my sounds comes from the rear. To me is sounds like my spare tire is loose. I am lowered on CO's but my car did this stock as well. I mentioned this to the guy who does my suspension work and he went over everything recently when he installed my sway bars and end links and said everything looked fine. I have friend with a B8.5 that is on the stock suspension and he says he hears the same noise.

I'm trying really hard to remember if I heard this sound when I first did the springs? I'm just worried, that I'll be driving one day and something comes off and I die.

I believe I hear it more towards the front. I'll try and listen a little better. But if I were to compare the sound to something, it would be like the spare tire moving around because I didn't screw the fastener tight enough.

Just put on H&R OE here as well, no noise at all, pretty silent. Sounds like something is loose.

Lololol, let's skip right to the ultimate worst case disaster. Haha.
