Hello all,
I have a 2018 Model 3 LR RWD. I bought the car a year ago with 12k miles, and now has 36k miles.
It has developed a horrible creaking sound that comes from the suspension when coming to a stop or when taking off from a stop.
I took it to Tesla and they told me it has an aftermarket suspension with non OEM shocks/springs etc, and that the parts are failing.
They want to replace the entire suspension, plus 2 front tires and an alignment for about $3k
I suspected the car was modified when I bought it because it looked lowered. I believe the parts are UPP but I do not know. I believe the prior owner tracked the car.
Is there any reason to doubt Tesla and get a second opinion?
