Small knocking noise coming from rear struts

Hi, I noticed some really small knocking noise coming from the rear struts, especially when driving slowly over bad roads.
I jacked up the car and I could reproduce the small noise by moving up and down the wheel. It looks like the noise is coming from the first/last inch of travel when I move the when up and down. Is this normal or a sign of a failing strut ?

I have check for worn out bushings all around and nothing moves, so all other moving parts of the suspension are looking good. Sway bar, tie rod ends etc looks good.

I have 50000 km and its a c300 2015 4 Matic with AMG sports package. I am still under warranty, so I will go see the dealer to get this fixed. I want to make sure there is an issue before going at the dealer.

Thanks

hard to say, usually you check blown struts by bouncing the car when its stopped, not lifting it.
