Front end banging/knocking (with video)

Everything has been great with my car until the drive home from work today. Almost immediately after leaving I started to hear a banging from the front end. From my observation the banging only occurs when my foot is off the gas (I have a DSG that is completely stock). Application of the brakes makes no difference, nor does shifting into neutral. Any ideas before I take it to the dealer on Monday? I’m anticipating that they will be unable to replicate, or some crap like that. And sorry in advance, this is my first attempt at uploading to YouTube.

Any help would be appreciated.

I would limit or not drive it.
Try to line up a lift check or raise it up yourself.
I think it needs a drive line or suspension check.
All bolts tight? Any recent swaps on wheels?

The dealer did a tire rotation one week prior. That’s pretty much it...
And I agree about not driving it, it’s a pretty awful sensation.

Tire rotation.
Check for lug bolts that are not tight. Any missing?
The noise in video did sound rotational to me so I would check this and rule it out. If a wheel is loose it could wobble and make noise. You can check this before you drive to dealer. Also insures wheel does not fall off. Also check wheels to make sure nothing on them that should not be.
