Whoa...that's a nasty sound. Can you hear it in the cabin when it rattles around like that on uneven pavement?
I could see that this is an easy thing for an SC to overlook if a customer come in complaining about front-end rattling noises.
Get that thing looked at! They can pull data from the suspension to detect even small leaks in the dampers. I'm amazed at how much 1 small leak threw off all points of driving dynamics. Its much more consistent and predictable now.
100%, yes.
However, just got my vehicle back from service yesterday. Some of my issues were due to a slow leaking left front damper. It was replaced and some of the slop is resolved along with almost all of my harshness issues.
The halfshafts are still rattling like crazy, and I swear I...
Sorry, just adding my experience here...2 years with 2 different R1Ts (both Gen 1 and 2).
1. The noise is not necessarily from the suspension. Yes, the dampers and jounce sub-assemblies can make noise, but a large amount of the clattering/rattling sound at low speeds is actually drive-line...
Your Model S has the knocking/rattling and handling sloppiness just like your R1T?
I driven a few and have never noticed. I do know its been reported that the Model X has some halfshaft knocking when hard accelerating on higher suspension modes.
I think that my hope is not in availability of extended warrantees, but that Rivian finds a permanent fix for these drivelines that have way too high of a failure rate.
