Found out from my mechanic that the rear struts on my coil spring suspension after 2015 Model S with 102K miles are shot. Although he could easily replace them, he cannot get OEM parts. Tesla will charge $900/strut + labor to replace. ( Rear Coil Spring Module -DM S3 (10156020-03-D) ). There seems to be lots of knock-offs on Ebay from China for the struts for less than half the price, and even salvage available.
My guess is that these struts are available from another manufacturer and significant cost savings but I can't cross-reference the equivalent.
I appreciate your thoughts. Thanks!
