mine's a '17 with mag ride, and it 100% happens. Took it to the dealer twice but they don't take the known TSB's as they are older. I argued that the mag ride hasn't changed in the '17's from the older models, but they still denied there were any problems with it. so... you just live with it XD

Latest update on my car. Had scheduled it in for Thursday for this issue and presented the service dept the TSB when I arrived (big thanks again s3burgh for providing the link to it!). They did a review of the car and confimed it qualified for the TSB, ordered the parts in and was able to get them installed yesterday. Now I have a car that I am no longer embarrassed to have passengers ride with me as the clunking noise is now GONE!!!!

Big shout out to the OP (Wackit) for starting this thread or else I would have continued to think this is normal for these cars. Another big shout out to s3burgh for providing the link to the TSB!

This is the reason why joined this forum, it is by far the most active for this model year and provides the best content, keep it up everyone.

Cheers!

Both of mine were done. Wonder why they are only doing one side, did you ask why not both sides?
