Vibration + Creeking Suspension?

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
Hi!

Anyone experienced vibration when accelerating from 20-40mph at around 50% throttle on a 100D? Also the rear suspension creeks when going from 0-5 mph gently... The front suspension did the same thing and the replaced it, now the rear one creeks...

Went to Tesla service and was told the creek was not a problem after they tried to fix it 4 times, also the vibration is normal and was told to set the suspension to "low"...

Cheers!

My car will be picked up by towing company in a few minutes. There was a slight creaking sound at low speed, followed a few days later by a dramatic, violent jink to the left, enough to take the car out of my lane. Very, very bad problem. Recommend you deal with it quickly.

This is a bit disturbing. Do you have more information about this? What year is your X?

Thank you, dropped the car off over a month ago and still have not received it back, changed a bunch of shafts, structs, etc etc but they said they still cant find/fix the issue...

We have a March 2017 MX, 100D
 
If it's the creaking sound when going over speed bumps or road undulations, then it is the front air suspension shocks. I had both fronts replaced for this problem and the creaking is gone. If it's the groan/shudder problem, then you need the 1/2 shafts replaced. I've also had this done several times (as they don't seem to last long).
