Hi all, this is my 1st Tesla MX 2020 and it's out of warranty. I'm new to Tesla, so please be patience with me. I've experienced some shuddering/ slight vibration on steering wheel and seat when accelerate at low speed. Also I'm getting a loud clicking noise when turning. It sounded like an axel problem in a nonEV.
I've read a bunch of threads that this is a common issue. I guess from the angle of joint in regards to the height of the car (high setting). I saw there are a few possible fix, but don't know which to proceed. I saw a lot post about adding n2intive kit 1 that would do the fix and another is having Tesla putting in 2nd Generation Half Shaft ($2500 from Tesla service). Some suggest putting car on low suspension (is it too late now since car experiencing these issues?)
Can someone point me to the right direction? Will spending $2500 with SC fix this permanently? Do I need to set it low after getting it fixed? Will it eats the interior tires faster bc of low setting? I've read that it comes back after a few thousand miles. If it will I'll make the sacrifice, but if there's cheaper and better alternatives please guide me.
Is the N2intive kit DIY job and if not how much typically? I've read good things about it and that setting it low won't after won't damage tires bc of the arm links. I'm so confused bc of all the research. Also, I'm hoping this issue is the same reason it cause the car to make a clicking noise while turning. Thank you in advance
BTW, the Tesla experience has been awesome. I love the car technology. I don't know why I waited so long to join this culture, but this shuddering issue is causing me stress bc I don't know much about this brand.
