Were you able to resolve the thunk - I am thinking of going back to OEM for the rear

I have tried all options including reaching out to Tein but to no avail - the chirp / squeak is still there - planning to go back to the OEM dampers for the rear

Still trying to get the chirp issue resolved. Tein has been unhelpful (working thru the installer - they said change the OEM part first - Go Figure !!!). I took the dust boot off..... thinking if that may help. Not by much. Also I notice the bump stop freely hanging and able to move it up and...

You are at 14 which means there is a lot more play in the damper / springs - try going back to 8 or even 6 and see if the noise goes away.

Awesome. Any luck anyone with the chirping / squeaking Teins on how to fix the issue ?

Alignment was recently checked … I just think it’s the nature of the vehicle’s steering

On my 2022 MYLR - I notice the steering is very sensitive leading to unnecessary sways of the car in highway speeds - comparatively - the Lexus I have is more forgiving that gives a much better ride experience. I know many folks love the responsiveness of Tesla but wondering if there is any...

Thanks. It's like a high-pitched sharp squeak (chirp) than creak.

Did you start hearing the rear chirp after softening the damper setting - I have it too and I wonder if it’s due to too much play with the soft setting - anything the installer pointed to? Tein seems to think it could be the rear strut bushing which is an OEM part

The installer ran a few tests - it’s a suspension tuning co and they said they could not isolate the issue

Like most others with Tein that have complained of the noise - the squeak started right after the install.

My installer has been going back and forth with Tein - but Tein has pushed back that the squeak could be coming from the rear strut bushing (which is reused OEM part) and saying its not an issue in their damper. Any thoughts.

One thing I noticed is that the squeak was very noticeable when I drove my car after a carwash. Then after it dried, the squeak subsided back to its normal threshold. Makes me think it's not the damper but maybe the OEM spring rubbing against something?

P Tuning in Manassas VA

Typically the work is done by suspension tuning kind of shops … they work on high end cars for off road tuning etc. depending on where you are - you can google and call them to check if they have done this work. The shop I went to was an authorized Tein dealer in Manassas VA
