Default Suspension Noise B5 S4

I have a suspension noise when I go slow over a speed bump or going slow over a bump or pulling into my driveway. Its coming from the drivers rear area.

Thanks for any input you may have!

Look at the bottom of the spring too - the A4 springs are notorious for breaking. The S4 springs are less so but still it's happened before.

problem solved, my 2012 s4 had the same problem and it was fixed today. A tsb just came out from audi this week addressing the issue (sept 9)....my repair order reads as follows.."loosen subframe engine mount and transmission to allow everything to settle"
happy driving everyone!!!!
