Recall: Model 3 and Model Y Front Suspension Lateral Link Inspection

[PebbleSpyglass]

My car definitely has something loose in the front suspension that’s been getting worse over time, taking it in Friday, but it’s not showing as part of this recall.

Started as an audible ‘thunk’ that could also be felt in drivers side floorpan when turning up an incline. Now this happens when just turning, anytime, at low speeds.

I have the same thunk noise coming from my front suspension. Did you take your car in to have it repaired?

our Y makes a small pop noise when turning left up an incline. May need to call service. I hope it would be mobile. Anyone have pics of where to look for problems related to this issue?

Took my 2021 LR MY into get an alignment today and was notified that the two front lateral link assemblies were bent. The cost is $500 to fix. Kinda ticked off cause Tesla only recalled 2800 MYs from 2021 that have the same issue. Of course my VIN wasn't included in the recall, but I have the same issue. Anyone else experience this? Tesla keeps saying that outside influence caused the links to bend. I replied with, " The outside influence is from the factory where they didn't torque the bolts to the proper settings."

I've not heard that the bolts not being torqued caused the arms to be bent, just for them to detach. Were your arms detached? Was there any evidence of the bolts not being properly torqued?
