Clunking metal sound when accelerating and decelerating on 2023 MYLR Austin

[krmvnt]

Already made a service appointment as this is a bit frustrating. When accelerating and decelerating, you can hear a metal clunk behind the rear driver side underneath the car. It’s like something is loose and rolling around under there. Anyone else had a similar issue?

2023 MYLR Austin built. Just picked up on Tuesday.

I have noticed something very similar on my 2022 Fremont-built MYLR. It might be the same thing. Sounds as though a piece of metal goes clunk back and forth with acceleration and deceleration rather than loosely rolling around, though.

SOund slike ball bearings hitting right? its an axel grease issue and they'll tighten a nut...safe to drive just a torque issue....regrease and a quick tightening will help it.

That sounds like a text book CV axle issue. I would take it in sooner than later.

I guess it’s more so a back and forth motion. I made it sound more freeing haha. But yeah, it’s like it’s just something loose going back and forth.

Yeah exactly. Thank you! Did you have this same issue? I scheduled my service appointment, hopefully it’s a fast turnaround time!

Do you know if that’s a quick turnaround time? Or do you think my car will be in service for a few days?

I can't really say. Assuming they correctly diagnose it on the first visit would just be a matter of parts availability I would think.

I do have the issue, and I finally have time to fix it. My friend with a MYLR had the same issue, thats why i knew what it was....seems relatively common and service told him wasn't an issue to drive, more just annoying sometimes.

Oh nice! It’s covered under warranty I’m assuming? Thank you!

Definitely can be a bother. Hopefully it’s really just an axel issue and nothing bigger than that. Thanks for the help!
