Default PASM noise

Hi folks

I have a 2012 3.4 Carrera with PASM. It has a knocking noise on the front driver's side at low speed going over bumps or uneven roads. It only happens in normal mode, goes away in sport. Seems to drive and handle fine otherwise.

It is under Porsche warranty but not especially convenient to take it there and past experience of similar symptoms in previous cars is the dealers tend to fob it off. Has anyone an idea of the likely cause and are suspension parts covered by the warranty?

I have the same "knock" when the body really gets twisted when there's a elevation change getting into certain businesses when the steering wheel is turned and going show. I'm thinking a spring is getting loaded or unloaded causing the noise since I don't have any rattles or noises during normal driving.

I'm going to have it looked at but I can count on one hand how many times I've had this occur in my almost 3.5 years of ownership.

Apparently, this is normal. I've encountered other threads on this, too. I've only had my 991.1 S for a few weeks but I've certainly noticed this once or twice already.
