    Creaking/Squeaking control arm ball joint fix

    I have seen YouTube videos doing that. You will still need to jack up car.

    Take it to a different garage. Unless that is what they are told to do to get some money from us.

    Creaking/Squeaking control arm ball joint fix

    They wanted 100 because I had told them the issue I had with the other garage. I told them I already paid 1100 for something that was not the issue. So we settled at 50 bucks. They were checking other things too so I figured that is fair.

    Creaking/Squeaking control arm ball joint fix

    Yep the creaking is the control arms. They need to show you the bad links before replacing. They replaced all four links and charged me 1100. I stated would you replace for free if the control arms are the issue. They said no. That is why I went to a different location. After they changed the...

    Creaking/Squeaking control arm ball joint fix

    That's exactly what they told me. Same quote. I argued with them and they still changed the links not the control arms. Charged me 1100 dollars. A couple of weeks later the creak came back real bad. I had a different Tesla garage change the control arms for 50 bucks. I argued I paid for links...

    Creaking/Squeaking control arm ball joint fix

    The recall was done a couple of years ago. I believe they stopped doing the recall cause it didn't not fix the issue. If your vehicle is under warranty they will fix for free. If not they will try to charge you 200 plus. You can argue your point it that this was part of an existing recall and...

    Creaking/Squeaking control arm ball joint fix

    They actually did the work without my approval. When I went to check they couldn't find the actual part. They were buckets of the same parts that were replaced from other vehicles. So my parts could not be found.

    Unknown Error BMS_a066

    I got my car Tesla Model 3 mid range. The battery I believe they replaced is remanufactured. The range on my 2018 has not really increased still has the degradation. Below is what they did.

    I agree. That's when I will raise hell.

    Creaking sound from left front suspension

    When I first noticed the creaking noise I removed the wheel on the right front and separated the control arm to access the ball joint. I just moved the ball joint in a circular motion to spread the grease. It worked and most of the noise was gone for a couple of weeks then the sound returned but...

    Creaking sound from left front suspension

    No they did not replace the control arms. They replaced lateral links. Said my control arms were fine. When I stopped by the shop they had replaced the part already and never gave me a chance to take pics.

    Creaking sound from left front suspension

    I took my model 3 in for creaking and they are quoting me 1100 to replace all four links. They are saying the ball joints are not the problem. Below is what tesla is telling me. I raised the car myself and just moved around the ball joint to try and get the grease to move around in the ball...
