Fanatec DD1 big occasioanl "clonks"

Hi all,
Just about a week ago I received my new Fanatec DD1 wheel base (I got the bundle with the Clubsport V2 Formula Wheel and Podium Paddle Shifters). I immediately noticed some big "clunk" sound coming out of the wheelbase when big ffb spikes happen. I made a quick video to show you my problem:
This happens quite often, in this particular case I had the following settings (running in iRacing):
FF: 50, LIN: OFF, NDP: 18, NFR: 2, NIN: 0, INT: 6, FEI: 100, FOR: 100, SPR: 100, DPR: 100, SHD: 100
In game force was about 4.5
Currently running:
PC Driver 381, WB FW: 680, SW FW: 38, WQR FW: 6.
Is this normal or my unit is faulty?
EDIT: Of course in the video I tried to intentionally recreate the problem, but during normal racing i get that same "CLUNK" in numerous occasions: when hitting a kerb harsly, when someone hits me, when crashing...

This is normal at the moment , i have the same , so do others , hopefully Fanatec will fix this with a driver update.
That sound is coming from the wheelside QR not from your wheelbase.
You mean the Quick Release of the wheel? Are you sure about that? Is there a way to fix it?
Sorry but I'm new to fanatec
Yes exactly that, you can try to twist the red part of your QR and get exactly this sound. This part of the QR has to be abit loose to actually make the mechanism work. Nothing you can do about it unfortunately.
Ok thank you very much. I'm fine as long as this is "normal". I was actually scared my DD1 Wheel Base was faulty so this is relieving to know!
Yes no worry, I get exactly the same sound after heavy FFB hits. Have fun with your new gear :)
Yes, I have a similar sound. Was initially concerned about it, but definitely is isolated to the quick release.
You can also install the srew in the QR hole
