Help identifying sound.

[HonchoNI]

Hey. Can anyone with a model Y performance help me identify a sound? I have a front end clunk and have literally checked everything I can and can not figure it out. The only thing I can think of is excessive play in the front diff/ drive unit.

… so if it is relatively easy for anyone could they jack one front wheel off the ground, roll it back and forward by hand? My dif makes a lot of noise and has a lot of play when doing this. I want to check if this is normal or not.

Thanks all!

Have you figured out the cause? Mine does this, as well. First noticed when accelerating from a full stop. Can also hear when front tires are off the ground (jacked up) and wheel is rolled forward and back.

I couldn't solve the problem, the service told me it's normal and characteristic of the car. I don't agree, but I can't do anything about it

Here are the normal sounds, maybe one of these is what you three are hearing?

I'll add that I had a weird sound when turning the front wheels, took a short video of it and played it back for the Tesla Service Center. They immediately diagnosed it as a part that needed to be replaced in the front suspension. That short video saved me a lot of time and frustration trying to describe a sound.
