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

I swapped the OEM dampers for this last September and have been having the squeak though it has improved over time. Today I took it to the installer and he took a few pics and video of the noise to send back to Tein. One thing I also did is to go from 12 setting in the rear back to 8 - and...

Yes - the front seems fine but the back has a noticeable chirp squeak when going over small bumps - it should settle and become less pronounced but it’s still there … what is the setting that you have and did you leave the dust boot cover on ?

Anyone found a fix for this ? Looks like the damper may not be the issue - I am still trying for a warranty repair to see if it resolves the squeak

Do you have the dust boot on ?

Mine is at 12 in the rear - so yes I will try to dial it to 8 and see if it improves it.

I still have it as well on my 22MYLR with Tein Endura Pro Plus dampers, and I have a suspicion that it's due to the 2022 OEM spring rates with excessive play due to the softer damper setting. I am going to try to set rear to around 8 and then see if the noise is still happening. Its just hard...

Have you tried removing the dust boot. I haven’t done it yet - but It’s gotten much better but still hear it

Did you guys leave the rear dust boot on. I notice a chirp sound when going over larger bumps (driver side rear) otherwise great.

I had the same issue - probably still do when it’s cold and when the speed is around 49-50. Once I go to 51, the noise dies down. I took it in a few months ago saying the issue was in the rear - but they ended up replacing the front drive unit - there was another bearing noise they detected...

Tesla would not agree to even retrofit the comfort suspension of 2023 to older models even though the dimensions and most dynamics are exactly alike. The dampers and spring rates were improved. I highly doubt if they will allow retrofit from Highland to older models …

I had the same issue for about 2-3 weeks but it has considerably reduced. I think it’s got to do with the Tesla dust boot being used in the rear in the Teins though I am not 100% sure. See if you are able to pull the dust boot down - it just snaps to the top and you can access it behind the...

Hi. I am looking to adjust the rear setting on the Tein Endura Plus on MYLR. Do you have a pic of how this can be done without jacking it up. Thanks

Yes - I have the OEM boots - they seem to be freely hanging there just for dust protection. The driver side rear is fine - just the passenger side squeaks

Thanks for the response - I will try it this week. The sound seems like a half metal chirp more than a gasket like - but will try it

Hi @Dyhppy - I am having the same squeaking noise in the rear when going over bumps (slightly big ones)… does removing the dust boot bother you - or did the installer say it’s safe to do so.

Would removing the dust boot cause any rust issues in the future. The squeak is very noticeable- though it’s just day 1 - I am hoping it will get better and subside like what others had commented. I am planning to wait for a week and then take it back to the installer

I just installed the Endura Pro Plus today. It’s now driving much smoother (22 Model Y LR)… but notice creak in the back when going over bumps. The installer did put the dust boot and bump stops from the OEM one

Can someone share what they paid a shop to replace the dampers with Endura Pro Plus . Thanks

Any verdict on if the top hat should be trimmed or just use Tesla’s. The email response from Tein seems to suggest to use the full top hat. Thanks

Someone has a pic of the top hat cut out to fit the Teins … is the part available separately from Tesla or outside ? Would prefer to keep the original suspension parts for backup … I recall seeing a pic in a post but could not find it. Thanks

I was tracking availability of the Tein Endura Pro Plus for my Model Y LR (March/April 2022 build). In this page, it was showing Not in stock, but since last week it was listing a few available, but now it seems like the part has been pulled. Earlier, it used to say out of stock, but now it...

When you say 10/10 - does it mean set it at 10 or 10 clicks from the hardest - which is effectively 6 since they have 16... Thanks

Hi @ilovecoffee ... I checked the tubing - it was set cleanly - especially near the joints - there was no area where it was aligned improperly. I removed the tube completely to test - I noticed - the tube did not appear pressed. When I close the door (after removing the tube), the hatch stops...

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08C9F311Z This 8mm is the same outer diameter as a 5/16.

I bought the 8 mm one …

Thanks @ilovecoffee I tightened all bump stops fully and interestingly when I close the hatch - 3 of them held the paper tightly - especially the 2 top tail light ones - and one of the bottom - there is no more room to play with Not sure what to make of it since I seem to recall before...

I now have the reverse problem. Boominess and ear pain has increased after adding vinyl tubing and adjusting hatch stops (I don’t have 3D printer) - I have tried adjusting the hatch stops quite a bit to see if it would go away .. or reduce …

@koio838 : What did the SC say. Did they adjust the hatch and did that improve the buffeting ?

Usually better to get it done at a pro shop or one specialized in suspensions - generally racing and track shops will do it. Also you need to do a wheel alignment after replacement

Wonderful!!! When you say DIY - you installed yourself or used an auto pro shop. Also, the rear parts - you have to buy 2 each ?

Great to hear. Can someone confirm - I looked at a 2023 Model Y and the Hatch stops seems a bit more sturdy and did not have the play as like 2022. Maybe that means you don’t need to 3D print ? Wondering if they upgraded it - I can try to get the hatch stops from Tesla parts store. Did...

This is for the fender which is a long piece that is done by attaching 2 4mm pieces and sliding into the area between the fender and the front doors - not for the wheel well

4mm should work but basically since you glue two pieces - it will be 8mm total thickness… I used a diff one which was 10mm and it rubs slightly when the door is opened or closed …

Good luck - did you take any pic ? When you say closer to the body - was it obvious to you before you went in… and is it vertical alignment or horizontally it’s off - mine - there is a larger gap on the back (noticeably) of the glass roof than the front

All 4 now have about equal stiffness when I pull the paper after closing. I should say that I did not adjust 3 of them since it seems to be pressing correctly. I also did not take a comparison paper test prior to the vinyl tube insert so I don’t know what it was like before. @ilovecoffee -...
