Slight knock from front suspension on my Passat

Slight knock from front suspension on my Passat – anyone tried a VW specialist in Dubai?

I’ve got a 2016 Passat that’s developed a faint knocking sound from the front left when going over speed bumps, but only when the car is cold, which is driving me crazy because by the time I get to a garage the noise disappears. A tyre shop said my control arm bushings look fine and the shocks aren’t leaking, but I’m not convinced. I’ve been reading that these cars can have issues with the top strut mounts or sway bar links that don’t show obvious wear. I think I need a proper Dubai Volkswagen Suspension Service where they actually drop the suspension and inspect everything instead of just eyeballing it. Has anyone here dealt with a similar intermittent knock that turned out to be something simple like a loose bolt or a dry bushing? I’m in Al Nahda but willing to drive to Al Quoz or Rashidiya if there’s a shop that really knows VWs. Also curious if worn shocks can knock even without leaking fluid. Appreciate any tips before I start replacing parts randomly.
