I have had a 2018 XF S 3.0D for a few months now, but I have noticed that when going over small speed bumps the front suspension will bang several times in quick succession, and this happens on both sides.
It is not the usual sound associated with knocking joints and feels like the active dynamics are getting confused!
Anyone else have this issue?
Thanks

 

I know this is an old post and OP will probably never see this now but for anyone chasing this problem - yes I have the same problem on my 2018 XF S 3.0D SB.
Which makes it a grand total of 3 cars I am aware of with this same issue (assuming I didn't buy Paolo's car!).

I'm still not sure if it's a fault or just how it is, although I'm starting to think it's a fault since I've asked this question all over and only 3 people have same issue. I mean to be fair also nobody has said they have the same car without this issue either so...!

 

I don't have that problem .... tested it several times in the last couple of days and no 'bangs'. Have you tried going over a speed bump on just one side to see if it's one wheel or both? How about the shock test of pushing down a front fender and see if it bounces? It sounds like you have a defunct shock.

 

Yeah I'll have to keep looking into this as today I went out in the car with a friend and tried to show him the issue but it didn't do it. I'm now thinking maybe its only when 1 person is in the car that it does it.
Yes in the past I have got the judder on 1 side (and both together) but not sure if I checked left and right sides so will have to look into that.
