why does my Tesla Model Y Current (2020-present) have a clicking noise when turning?

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and parts required for inspection and repair.
• Park the vehicle on a flat surface and engage the parking brake.
• Disconnect the battery to ensure safety while working on electrical components.

2. Inspect and Replace CV Joints

• Inspect CV Joints:
  • Remove the wheel on the affected side using a socket set.
  • Visually inspect the CV joint and boot for any signs of damage or grease leakage.
• Replacing Damaged CV Joint:
  • If damage is found, remove the axle nut using a torque wrench.
  • Disconnect the lower control arm and any related suspension components to free the axle.
  • Remove the old CV joint and replace it with a new one. Ensure proper alignment.
  • Reinstall the axle nut to the manufacturer’s specified torque value.

3. Suspension Component Replacement

• Replace Worn Components:
  • Inspect other suspension parts such as ball joints and tie rod ends.
  • If any components are found to be worn, remove them and replace with new parts.
  • Follow manufacturer specifications for installation and torque settings.

4. Reassembly and Final Checks

• Reassemble all removed components in the reverse order of disassembly.
• Ensure that all bolts are tightened to the specified torque values.
• Reinstall the wheel and lower the vehicle back to the ground.
• Reconnect the battery.
