Front right hollow thud only when turning left over bumps – 2016 Octavia RS

Featured Replies

Hi all,

I’m trying to track down a suspension noise that multiple mechanics couldn’t find.

Car: 2016 Skoda Octavia RS

Mileage: ~170,000 km

Symptom

I get a hollow thudding noise from the front right.

Only happens when:

  • turning left

  • going over uneven/bumpy road

  • at slightly higher speed over bumps

Driving straight over bumps → no noise

Very slow speed → no noise

Steering feels normal, car stable.

Sound is dull and hollow, like a body thud, not metallic.

Parts already replaced

  • Front right shock absorber

  • Top strut mount

  • Rear control arm bushing

  • Stabilizer bushings

  • Engine mount

  • Brakes serviced

Nothing looks loose on the lift.

Has anyone seen a one-direction thud like this on Mk3 Octavia?
