why does my Tesla Model Y Current (2020-present) make a clunking noise when driving

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat, stable surface and secure it using wheel chocks.
• Disconnect the battery to prevent any electrical issues during repair.

2. Inspect and Replace Suspension Components

• Inspect Components:
  • Remove the wheel to gain access to the suspension assembly.
  • Check the struts, control arms, and bushings for cracks or wear.
  • Look for signs of fluid leaks from the struts or shocks.
• Replace Damaged Parts (if needed):
  • Remove any bolts securing the control arm or strut using a socket set.
  • Replace worn bushings or strut assemblies with new parts.
  • Reinstall all components, ensuring all bolts are torqued to the manufacturer’s specifications (consult the service manual for torque values).

3. Inspect and Tighten Drivetrain Components

• Check Drivetrain:
  • Inspect the driveshaft and CV joints for any signs of damage or looseness.
  • Tighten any loose bolts on the driveshaft and ensure all connections are secure.

4. Reassemble and Lower Vehicle

• Reinstall the wheel and lower the vehicle back to the ground.
• Reconnect the battery and ensure all tools are removed from under the vehicle.
