    creaking @slow speed /turning after upper control arms replaced

    Good stuff, thank all great stuff, thank you and yes, fairly sure I’m looking at replacing the lower lateral and compliance links, as well as the sway bar links for the metallic rattle over bumps… as for shocks, gonna have to wait as these are far outta my budget for now and tbh, all else...

    creaking @slow speed /turning after upper control arms replaced

    Yea it could be or the bolts/joiners, but I don’t know specifically without lifting it and having someone nearby to pinpoint. Gonna try the lithium route first, Maybe even inject the lower boots, then move on to replacement option last. As for describing the creak, it’s the same as so many...

    Buy a New Tesla or w/significant warranty

    well, not exactly the same $, but within a $7k difference between a used 2020 M3P and a new MY makes it a hurt just a bit… having Tesla handle the control arm issue, and hoping the dealer will take another look at the seatbelt issue, though that and a turn signal going out under 4 years is...

    Buy a New Tesla or w/significant warranty

    but do yourself a favor and skip buying one out of warranty as you will soon pay just as much in repairs for simple things as the cost of new ownership… I spent 6 months renting a Tesla 3 from hertz (at an egregious and ludicrous cost) while I ubered in it, fell in love with it, and undoubtedly...

    Chrome Delete w/White Carbon Fiber

    had anyone done this or know of a source to purchase the pre-cut materials from? clearly, this would be on a white exterior (2020M3P) and gonna try out the door handles first as I was able to find a decent set. I don’t plan to white the mirrors, though hmm, but the window trim could be...
