Model X Sway bar Bushing

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
Hello everyone, I just purchased a used 2016 Model x, I've noticed knocking sound on the front passenger side at first. I replace all the front end suspension beside the Air Suspension and Sway bar bushing.

NOW I hear the the knocking sound while driving straight on slow speed on both front passenger and driver aide.

I don't want to spend the money on replacing the Air suspension, as it still holding air.

I want to try to replace the last cheap part which is the SwayBar busbing, BUT I can't seem to find it. Tesla part Catalog doesn't show parts number.

Here is the photo of the parts I've replaced

Can Anyone please help me out on this Swaybar Bushing. This knocking sound is annoying, I've also tripled check any parts that will produce any knocking sound and NOPE I found nothing

Thank you everyone

nice work OP
i doubt its ur sway bar bushings..
could be axles or FDU mounts. i hear faint knock on slow speeds n turning, along with usual shudder so i think its axles that make some noise.
do check all 6 subframe bolts, some ppl had front ones that hold sway bar break or come out...

Does knocking get less frequent if you raise suspension? I'm dealing with similar issue. I was about to take the sway bar off but haven't gotten there yet. I noticed that knocking is there if driving on low/very low -setting but if it is on standard/high/very high I have to hit way bigger bumps to get the same sound.
