    I was very happy to see the TSB - thanks Umberto, as I have asked my service folks to check the Dynamic Response more than a few times due to the excessive knocking on straight rough roads. Each time they confirm that it is "performing as designed" - aargh. Having come from a 2009 Cayenne GTS with the PDCC, I do know that all active swaybar systems do not knock. The PDCC was seamless with no knocking.

    However, the RRS S\C's system is better offroad. The GTS had good wheel articulation, especially combined with the PASM (soften the dampening); however, I have been amazed at the RRS's ability to keep its tires on the turf when articulation is called upon.

    Update: I had the TSB performed on my RRS S\C last week. The knock is gone while driving straight in the 15-40mph range over broken pavement. I have also noticed that the suspension is much "quieter", both audibly and in terms of compliance. That is, a lot of the jiggle and stiffness of the suspension is greatly reduced. Before every piece of broken pavement and manhole cover was transmitted directly into the cabin, now the dampening still is stiff; but, the bushings feel a lot softer -more compliant. Feels a lot better off-road too.

    I like it - thank you Umberto! It is always nice to be able to hand-over a printed copy of the TSB and ask them to just do this - please.
