Weird sound from fender/undercarriage

Hey guys,
Experiencing a very strange sound every time I go offer a speed bump, rough road, etc. This noise occurs at all speeds, slow speed it’s louder and more noticeable, higher speeds not as noticeable because of wind noise. Sounds like maybe subframe? Struts?

Dealer replaced sway bar end links and that didn’t do anything at all. So, I posted a YouTube video showing the noise when going over bumps in a parking garage. Let me know your thoughts. Definitely need help on this one!

Give us some more info.
Stock suspension?
Any mods?

This is an old video but still applies.
My LCA wore out around 20,000 with 10,00 OE and 10,000 lowered 1 inch.
The LCA makes metal to metal contact with other suspension and frame parts.
Soft rubber bushing wears out. You can see the metal to metal contact if inspected.
There are better upgrades.

Costly option.
But you can also just press in New better bushings.
ECS Tuning has options. Search LCA MK7 GTI bushings
