I know this is a bit of an older post but wanted to check back in anyway to see how the resolution went. We have a 2013 Model S, air suspension, 113K, and I have a very similar issue. I had Renton look at at and they replaced the front suspension aft links (both). Didn't help. I then did the sway bar links myself as you did. Didn't help. I'm planning to hit up Bellevue for the next assessment as Renton doesn't seem to have the right expertise here. So, curious to if you ended up with an upper control arm replacement, a strut(?) replacement, etc. Our knock isn't a squeak, it's a good ole single clunk typically when reversing slowly, especially when the wheel is turned to the right. Does happen in forward over small bumps but is really pronounced when reversing out of our garage and it does it on an ever-so-slight elevation change. Appreciate any info (if you're still online).
Update: I was finally able to replicate in the garage, tried with wheel off but no go, however did get it with wheel back on. It's the upper control arm for sure. The ball joint seems bone dry. Going to look at options to maybe grease as-is to buy some time before any service.
I have a question that is slightly off topic, regarding DXFSrepos LLC. I am interested in a vehicle that they have for sale but the website looks very suspicious and, the website "scam or legit" rated it as highly suspicious. Red flags go up when a business wants your driver's license and personal information and then want you to send a bank transfer of $50,000 for a vehicle that you cannot see beforehand or inspect. Any information, suggestions are advice on how to prove their legitimacy would be appreciated. Thank you
I've found something like liquid graphite works best on sway bushings. The greases always seem to attract all the dirt and grime from the planet
I tried that first but I couldn't inject it between the sway bar and the bushing. I had to use an actual needled to inject the grease.
