Just got the creaking sound on my 2019 tesla model 3 15k miles - sounds exactly as everyone else reported and easily reproducible when I push down and up around the tire area.
Unfortunately, warranty just expired a few months ago so its in the SC now - Technician confirmed the noise is coming from the FUCAs but is also recommending changing lateral links due to wear on bushings.
The price difference is so high, so thought I would ask here - has anyone had this experience before. Should I just go with the recomendation?
I am thinking of just doing the FUCAs for now
Price of just both FUCA replacements + tire rotation: $453
Price of both FUCAs + both lateral links and lower link assembly + wheel alignment: $2179
Heading on a road trip in a week so any opinions would be awesome!
