Default Taycan 4S single clunk when driving left or right

Hi. I wonder if anybody can suggest what it can be as a dealer is unable to figure out the problem.

given - taycan 4S (air suspension obviously ). When going about 30kmh and turning left or right I can hear a single clunk sound from the rear. It has to be quite aggressive turn to hear that. Also, when I switch the suspension to anything other than “normal”, clunk disappears. What’s more, a completely the same clunk can be heard when I have the car in drive mode, it stays stand still and I press the brake hard. If I open any of the doors, the clunk disappears (it feels like it deals with the work of the suspension. Weird, maybe the air suspension gets some air which results in a change of the height.

any ideas what it can be and how I can try to identify the problem? It feels like the sound comes somewhere from the rear in the middle. I tried to hear each of the side and it doesn’t seem like the sound comes from the shock absorbers (a dealer suggests that, but they actually didn’t ever try to identify the location).

There is a now symptom. When I switch the shock absorbers from normal to sport, same “knock” happens.

I have had that knock form time to time. Every time I think that I want to visit the Porsche Center it goes away. It been gone now for about 6 months.

“Lucky” you. In my case, it’s progressing
