  1. Rear suspension damage

    I totally agree with you. I think Rivian as well as other EV brands are staying behind the business model of "bring your car to SC" and "do not try DIY". But as the video explains and you pointed out, it seems like the internal parts of the damper are repairable (gaskets, seals, bladder etc.) I...
  2. Rear suspension damage

    Btw. Without you opening the shock, these guys tore down the front dampers and there's more videos on YT:
  3. Rear suspension damage

    @alexdw369 thanks for the explanation. I was using "blown" damper term loosely meaning it's damaged from the accident (my car was hit in that wheel). I assumed the air could've gotten in the line, since I did the bleed and refill before replacing the damper cables. After the cable replacement, I...
  4. Rear suspension damage

    So I like that you confirmed that part with the pump top off, because I'm kind of dreading the day I'd have to do this again. I replaced all the damper wires leading to solenoids and my error codes went away and drive feel improved. However, I think my rear driver damper is busted anyway and...
  5. First Crashed R2 totaled with only 110 miles (VIN 1200)

    Anyone knows where is it totaled? I'd buy it, don't judge :)
  6. VION Giveaway: Win R1S/R1T Roof Sunshades + Gray Option Available Now!

    Ordered my @VION filter on Amazon. It was a pretty painless replacement and the air seems nice and fresh in the car. Especially in this 100+ degrees F weather.
  7. Tie rod upgrade, CHEAP!! New compatible parts!

    Great job on retrofitting these. Does anyone know anyone who replaced the half shafts on their own?
  8. Group Buy/Purchase for a Rivian Service Account with Access to RiDE Software Salvage Titles where are you?

    I guess I forgot to update the thread. The car is charging, driving and behaving well. I just passed the inspection. I still have an annoying error for the airbag that doesn't go away due to the "pyro switch squib being open" DTC. Could it be a cheap pyrofuse from china? And have some dents to...
  9. Ohmmu Announces BT19 Sodium 12V Batteries for Rivians: Thoughts?

    No, you just follow the YouTube video and Rivian recommends you remove the HV cut off before you replace the 12v. Then you put it back by plugging in HV cut off. Then the battery negative terminal, and the sensor.
  10. RJ on high $ collision repairs: "should never happen"

    Yeah, ping me directly if you need help. I just replaced mine with Ohmmu Sodium last week. So far it's behaving as expected.
  11. RJ on high $ collision repairs: "should never happen"

    Not really, you can reset on your own. Once you go to Settings > RIDE and you'll see the 12v battery reset option there. Its built in basically and it the whole reset procedure takes few seconds. It takes longer to get to the RIDE menu lol.
  12. Stripped TP55 Bolt - how to extract?

    I had a similar issue with a smaller torx screw I couldn't remove from the jounce line. I measured with the wrench and cut the edges off precisely with the angle grinder, so it was fitting in the wrench 🔧. Then I was able to un-wrench it. I would be careful on your case as it's very close to the...
  13. Hydraulic Suspension maintenance - Drain and refill

    Hi @HotPocket, thank you so much! I made my own version which is similar to yours, watching the Hollywood mechanic video probably about 100 times so far. I can make some improvements, since I used cheap Harbor Freight valves. I just bled and refilled the suspension this weekend and the errors...
  14. Rear suspension damage

    Thanks again @Nixapatfan for all the details. I finally removed the pump and refilled it with fluid to the brim. It was a royal pain to remove it from the housing. (I needed to separate the grommet by holding the pipe on the side of the pump and pulling the grommet away from the plastic, to...
  15. Rear suspension damage

    Did you have to remove the line going to the solenoid assembly to remove the pump out of the housing? I took the pump down and removed all the clips holding it . It seemed like bump doesn't want to move out of the housing. I didn't want to yank it out because I wasn't sure if anything else is...
