Model Y Long Range AWD front noise when max turn

[George Markos]

So just picked up 2023 October, Texas production, Model Y long range AWD.

From the front wheels I get noise on maximum turning wheel and its at slow to stoping turn. The noise is like rubber grinding/whining.

While in reverse there is “tung/gong” kinda of release noise, or like something is wrong with suspension part.

Any experience with this

Used car? How many miles? OEM tires/wheels? Any suspension mods?

Lots of variables that need to be posted.

my apologies. Its brand new, i just put the production model as a reference.m, it was leftover from 2023. No modifications whatsoever

My new 2024 MYP does the same thing, not sure what it is.

It's most likely the upper or lower control arm. The replacement cost is typically between $400 and $600. If it's gradually increasing in noise due to acceleration or deceleration, it's the wheel hub. About the same price to replace it.

My predicament is to take it in to service or not. Because once they start opening stuff up… fix one break five things

Might as well bring it to them. Usually best. Their rates are reasonable to diagnostic. Sometimes they'll waive it if you have them fix it on the spot.

You can just drop your car at the TSC overnight and leave the key in the dropbox. They'll work on it in the morning usually. If you use the app, you will be offerred an appointment 2-3 weeks out. If you want it to be looked at immediately, just drop it off. Or, whenever is convenient and don't bother making any appointments.

Rates? It's still under warranty, right?

Reverse noise

From my experience if it's the control arm, it has to be a precise turn at a specific angle such as making a 90 degree turn left or right, you would feel the weight of the car shift as you turn. It's very noticeable once you experience it once. This reverse seems very likely it's the control arm because of the distinguish bump/thump noise while turning during motion.

I couldn't hear it while moving forward that well. But, the reverse does seem like it's the control arm. As far if it's the upper arm or lower arm, that has to be on a lift to find out.

Not mines. Warranty expired along time ago. The car has 139k miles.

cmaster: but you're not the OP...

 

[George Markos]

so they should replace these under warranty ? Car is two weeks old.

I have had my brand new 2024 MYP for about 2 weeks too, and recently started noticing the groaning sound under the same scenario. After reading below thread, it leads me to believe the sound will eventually go away after breaking in..

Groaning sound when turning + slowing under regen braking low speeds

Model S Plaid 2023 now about 600km old. Makes the same noise.

Thats the same exact noise I have at full lock. I had this noise at less that 100 miles lol.

I am scheduled on the 27th for service. I will update the outcome here. My guess is they will say its normal.

i work valet parking, so i get to drive many different ones, and so far none have had this noise

My brother has performance model 2024 no sounds as well.
