Squeaky noise at the rear going over bumps

Noticed last week my C8 RS6 with only 1300 miles on had started to develop a squeaky noise and a mild little thump coming from the rear suspension when driving over uneven road, sleeping policemen and pulling out of roundabouts etc. I first thought here we go the dreaded DRC damper leaks like I had on my C7 RS6.
Anyway took the car to Crewe Audi and they found the rear bump stops had moved out of position which is a common problem on RS models with DRC. Half hour job to put them back in place and all now okay. Thankfully it wasn’t a leak, anyone else noticed the same thing?

Not noticed anything from the rear, but I do hear the occasional clunk from front driver side when going over some bumps. I can work out if its DRC paranoia (I had then all changed on my RS4) or just a sound that would happen anyway. It only seems to be one side, and I think it is more when the car is cold

I best get it booked in then, although given COVID that could be 2022!

I had exactly the same thing on mine, called out Audi emergency services, took the rear wheel off and clicked it into place

They put mine on the lift and was able to do it from inside the wheel without taking it off
