Suspension issues at 48,000 kms

[Biscuitman]

I have owned my M3 for just under 2 years.
It has been a great car despite the suspension issues that have just resulted in having replaced both control arms on the front and both knuckles on the rear.
All four corners now have had the suspension worked on.
When I asked the service rep this morning if there was any area of the suspension that had not been worked on , the answer was no, you have pretty much had it all done.
Hopefully the creaking and squeaking is over.

Earlier this year had to replace suspension components out of Warranty to the tune of over CAD$ 6000. Ouch!

Wow ! Do you think that is because your car was one of the first production ones? Hopefully these things are being worked out with new better designed parts.
You had no problems when it was under the 4 year warranty?

I've had my front control arms replaced 3 times now, basically at every 20,000km. If I have to replace out of warranty I think I'll get 3rd party parts. Tesla suspension sucks

I just picked up my model 3 today after having both control arms replaced, 95,000km on the car purchased in July, 2018. Concerning that this is such a common issue.

Mine was replaced in June at 100000km, car purchased in June 2018. So the upper control arms that came with our vehicles produced in 2018 all had the same part and they will need to be replaced eventually. So if you have 2018 Model 3 and still have warranty, you will save yourself $1000 to have this replaced under warranty.

Tesla *apparently* fixed the upper control arms as with some redesign.
