2022 Model S Clicking Sound From Front End When Turning Yoke

[JeffTutorialsY]

Hi all,

My 2022 Model S has started to develop a clicking sound from the front end whenever I turn at low speeds, especially onto inclined surfaces (ie. driveway).

I took it into service yesterday. Despite telling them the sound is likely coming from the skidplate/front subframe (based on what I've read on here), they were still unable to resolve the issue.

Has anyone else experienced something similar?

Couple of threads here about this issue. Mine got resolved fortunately, but now the left rear seat has started loudly creaking instead. It never ends.

Clicking noise while turning the yoke - 2022 Model S

My 2022 MS LR developed a clicking noise since around 2k miles. The clicking sound is coming from the front of the car. What I found: Clicking noise: Turning the yoke while moving(forward & backward). Going over bumps or broken pavements. No noise: Turning the yoke while stopped. Traveling...

(21 Plaid) Something is popping when my wheel turns or the car moves at low speeds.

Hi All - Greeney's fix worked!!! No more clicking which had worsened to happen at all speeds and turning of the wheel. The dealership reluctantly did the repair after I told them that I would be immediately pursuing a Lemon Law return if they failed to fix the car. To their credit, they did...

Thanks!

I went in on Labor Day and asked them to re-torque the skidplate/subframe. They claim they did, but the issue is still present.

I'm going back tomorrow and asking for an experienced tech. In addition, I printed out 2 pages of invoice screenshots from the threads you sent over above.

Had this same problem on my March 2022 MS LR, Clicking sounds when turning yoke at low speeds. Took it in to service and retorquing of front skid plate solved the problem. Hard to believe, but that was it. See attached invoice

This is how I solved it:

Sorry to hear, but I’m frankly not surprised. There’s been some shady stuff happening with service centers as of late. Either they claim they test drove it and couldn’t reproduce, where in fact they didn’t even bother doing a proper test drive (if any at all), or they claim they repaired the...

Had the same clicking sound on my Model S 2023 with 19'' wheels.
Did the retorquing on the front skid plate at the SC and it didn't fix it.

Then applied this solution and it worked!!
