why does my Tesla Outback feel unstable at highway speeds

Solution

1. Tire Inspection and Adjustment

• Check tire pressure: Inflate tires to the manufacturer’s recommended PSI.
• Inspect tires: Look for any bulges, cracks, or uneven wear patterns.
• Replace tires if necessary: Ensure all four tires are matched and in good condition.

2. Wheel Alignment

• Set up alignment rack: Position the vehicle on the rack and secure it.
• Measure alignment angles: Compare with manufacturer specifications.
• Adjust alignment as needed: Adjust camber, caster, and toe angles to meet specifications using the adjustment bolts.

3. Suspension Component Replacement

• Inspect and remove worn components: Use a socket set to remove any damaged shocks or struts.
• Install new components: Replace with OEM or high-quality aftermarket parts, torquing to manufacturer specifications.
• Check bushings and mounts: Replace any worn bushings or mounts that could affect stability.

4. Steering System Check

• Inspect and tighten components: Check tie rods and sway bar links for looseness; tighten or replace if necessary.
• Test steering responsiveness: Ensure that the steering feels firm and responsive after adjustments.
