S3 suspension difference

[mechanic69]

Hi

I'm running B8 Bilstein dampers and H&R lowering springs on the front of my 2011 S3 8P. Been having an annoying noise on the right hand side lately.

Measured the ride height today and the drivers side is 10mm lower then the passenger side, the springs look ok but what could be the cause???

Looking for anyone who's had similar issues, already have new updated top mounts ready to fit, maybe the springs?

Is it a knock or rumble?

Over uneven or even roads/bumps?

It's like a loud knock or click, only really get it at slow speeds and during parking, low speed manoeuvres. I've got updated top mounts and engine mounts to fit but I'm slightly annoyed by the low height one side, suspecting a broken spring but it feels ok

could be drive shafts if its a click and at low speed

top mounts/bearings/bushes goosed?

 

[mechanic69]

It's not drive shafts that would be more consistent / regular
