My right front did it after 6 track days and 10k miles, the bushing seperated, emailed them a picture, they sent me a set of arms under warranty, took 30min to swap it out, now I’ve got a spare left arm for if/when the left fails. Lifetime unlimited mileage warranty makes them seem like a no brainer..Just following up on this to report this maddening clunk that I've been chasing for over a year now was solved with new (warranty replacement) LCA's from Superpro.
Thanks to @Mosquito for encouraging me to reach out to Superpro on this as I figured my warranty had long expired due to my purchase date of Nov 2019.
I was getting this with the superpro LCA. It was the bushings and those spacers that are part of the bushing. Someone else on here with a white Golf R was having the issue as well. We both went back to stock LCA and the sound/knocking/clonking went away.Digging this thread up. Running Superpro LCAs on my wagon for ~6mos/8K miles including 4 track days. Love theme handling improvements however, I have developed a noise on braking right before I stop. It feels like it's coming from the floor board under the driver's side. My car is sorted/no issues/been gone through by the shop that installed...thinking it's these duroball r. bushings. They visually look fine. Noise would be best described as a thud/groan and I can vary/control it with brake. My brakes are all fine as well. I have no noises that I can discern over bumps.
I wish all these kind of things came with grease ports!I was getting this with the superpro LCA. It was the bushings and those spacers that are part of the bushing.

@MSH - I delt with everything described in this post. It was harder for me to pinpoint since I installed all of the following in one fell swoop back in 2019.@Mosquito Thanks for chiming in
I bought mine back in Nov '19 but lagged on getting them in until April of last year. 6k miles on them. I'm sure I'm screwed on warranty. Copy on "assuming that it is your knocking issue" but I dont know whats left at this point.

After extensive troubleshooting. And I mean EXTENSIVE troubleshooting........ it was determined that the Superpro LCA's initial version (Maybe pre 2020?) had a bearing issue. Superpro eventually warrantied mine and the noise went away. Sounds like you are on the right track!
For the record, recently noticed the passenger side bushing separated as well. This is on the warrantied SP LCAs from 2020 - about 1-2 years of slowly increasing clunk noise and about 30K+ miles.
My shop got it done quickly. They went through their supplier as they installed them.For the record, recently noticed the passenger side bushing separated as well. This is on the warrantied SP LCAs from 2020 - about 1-2 years of slowly increasing clunk noise and about 30K+ miles.
Been trying to inquire with SP about this, but haven't gotten any response over the last few weeks.
