Meh. Squeaks and rattles never bother me. I hardly notice them.

I can't wait to do this tomorrow I thought i was gonna have to spend a bunch of money to replace something. My 2020 just hit 49k miles. Thanks for the vid

The guy behind the camera alright?

Purchased everything recommended and took care of it myself following this tutorial. Only took driving around for like 20 minutes for the squeaking to stop. Thank you!

My upper latch piece is broken off the sliding cover portion. Any suggestions for that?

I don't think it's a problem in the Northeast. My 2018 Tesla Model 3P with 28,000 miles which spent its whole life in Northern CA (very little rain, no salt EVER) has the problem. It just seems like a matter of time before this happens to ALL teslas, perhaps the ball joint geometry eventually moves the grease away from the ball, or they skimped on grease when they built the ball joint!!!

Hi friend can you make deep test video, try to scan all controllers and try to test activate some electric parts

Loved this, it was very helpful!

Heya, I have this same issue. Do you have ideas how to access that space without having easy access to a modern car lift?

So screwed up they put a 10 cent piece of plastic on with 2 steel rivets that are hell to remove

Do you need to attach anything to it or just to the car wheel?😊

Nice video.

How many pumps would you say is needed to put a good amount of grease

Mine just started today and i order parts on amazon. Do i have to poke 2 holes or could I just poke 1

messy

So it has to be hooked to output for it to even jump start ?.

thnx for the video ! its great and to the point

get the OEM oil pan skid plate here.. Z-1 OFFROAD Part #: 50842-7S000

I went to grab a drink from the cooler in my trunk and I closed it without realizing I put my keys in there and then I had luckily unlocked my doors before putting them in there I was gou g yo take my back seats out to pull the release but you have to pull the release to take the seats out. Thanks for saving me time and money lol

Does this register what pressure is in your tires currently?? Looking for a bike that can hold 70lbs of air and don’t want the tire blowing up

My 24 doesnt come with the utiltrak system

thank you for review. after one year of ur post is it durable? any issues ?

Thank you i was loosin my shit over this. also...who dafuq is snoring lmao ?

Very educative and now i have confidence and can DIY

What do you think happens when it rains around your suspension ??

Do the bolts from the clamps rub against the vinyl?

Was the brake holding it if so u can release some tension from the rear to access the tensioner. Made it easy. My axle nut was 30 mm on and 07. I am dealing with the snap ring popping followed new install. Snug the new nut. Spun the NEW drum counter clockwise 10 times while torque to 174ft lbs. The next day noise. Pulled tire 1/2 inch gap took off nut and drum looked inside the snap ring that was factory installed was popped out and the bearing moved in that eztra 1/2 in. I rest the bearing installed the snap ring. Used my other new nut. Same procedure. Next day same thing happened. Not sure if this China made drum is defective from Autozone DuraLast or theres an issue with the hub. I dont see anything like burs or damage but this is odd to happen. I did the other side with a AC delco and no issue in 5 years. This Dura last is a replacement under warranty and its not working. I just dont know how to know if defective or not. But ive already had 2 failures in 2 days with proper torque and installation. Anyone have a thought. If defective ill remove and take back i hope they honor it again becasue nuts are 16 bucks where i am for 1 already went through 2 in 2 days as you can reuse them.

Thanks for the excellent diagnosis! My Model 3 after 4.5 years has developed the identical problem, This helped me to understand exactly what the problem is 🙂 I will be buying the upper control arms from tesla and getting them Installed.

came for the tips. stayed for darth vader

Hey Everyone, mine is 92k kms on it and it started making this noise. The next service centre is 300 kms from here and the wait time is 9 days. What grease should I use?

Of course if your car is still under warranty, Tesla will replace ‘both’ ball joints with updated control arms free of charge, even if just one side is squeaking.

I had the same issue on my model 3 long range 2021 and I just fixed it the same way you did it on this video. Thank you so much for sharing the quick solution!

What year?

Great video. Just started happening to mine. Is this safe to drive on

Is there any concern that the seal is broken by the 2 needle holes?

The engineer who designed this oil filter location must have gotten a D. Brutal.

Tire mounted backwards?

I just got one. How do you charge it? I was baffled completely with it until I saw your video. The instructions are terrible.

I found that after just adding the grease I needed to remove the bolt and move the pin around for a while. The two of those fixed it right up. Thanks!!

This can’t cause any problems in the future can it?

one of the greatest convenience items for inflated tires ever, thank you, there is one rated to 260 which will do air suspension also, just fantastic!!

Thank you!!!

very nice , thank you very much my friend, you save me tone of money ....

The book says 6.6 quarts for 1.5 motor

Thank you so much for this informative video- quick question, what do you do about the exposed holes you’ve poked? doesn’t it leave space for contamination or leakage?

And if the button doesn’t work what I have to do?

Just saw this video uploaded by you on our Facebook group and I’m just curious to know this is a temporary fix but ultimately we would have to get new parts right?

I own a 2018 Model 3. A few months ago I ran through a few inches of rain in a construction zone. Squeaking started, then stopped, and recently came back. So at the end of March 2014 I took it to Tesla service. The technician knew immediately it was the driver side upper control arm. Apparantly it happens often and the part had been re-designed 3 times since 2018. Two years ago Tesla applied a urathane sealent to both front upper control arms, but it didn't last. This time Tesla replaced both front upper control arms (they need to be replaced as a pair). My car is two years out of warrenty, so I expected to pay for the repair. Tesla charged me $180 for the parts ($90 each) and ate the installation labor (no charge for the 1.02 hours). Tesla also charged me $20 to make a EPAS alignment check. So it cost $200 to fix the problem. All in all, I thought Tesla was very nice to comp the installation labor. By the way, JD Power says the price range for a control arm is $220 to $530 and installation labor adds $150 to $200. So Tesla charging a total of $200 for the job, including an alignment check, is fabulous.

Used a grease needle to inject fresh grease into the rubber housing on the ball joint, then used a lot of silicone lubricant on the control arm joints where they connect to the vehicle body (looked a bit rusty). Still squeaking the next day, but drove about 100 miles and all squeaking/creaking is now gone! I removed the tire to get a little more room for the spray can, but i don't think it was necessary.

need spry for nose operator
