@dannymak5743 2 жыл бұрын
Hi, i m been a mechanic for almost 20yrs. Looking at the damage, my best guess is inline with tesla. Looks like axle were not installed correctly. Over time caused too much stress on the joint. When the cv joint fail, the axle just damage everything around it. Now, i just read into service manual on removing front strut, while it does not touch the axle. When the upper control arm separate from the knuckle, the whole knuckle would drop down which can cause the cv joint of the axle to hyper extend or pop out without the tech noticing. When reinstalling everything, the cv joint in the axle might not be correctly align which over time, caused the axle the fail. This would be number 1 most likely cause, especially if the mechanic had to pull down on the knuckle to get more room to remove/install the strut assembly. Now with the issue for the alignment, all new springs/coil over will "settle" after a bit of driving. Which mean ride height will be slightly lower compare to when first install which can and will cause the alignment to be out. But as long as alignment can be adjusted back to factory spec, there shouldnt be a problem. 3rd issue. With aftermarket coilover, if you lower the car by a large amount, it will also start changing the angle of where the axle would normally work. So if theres excessive ride height different, this can cause the axles to be working in a range(angle) that its not designed for. I hope that help. Afterall, i agree with the findings of tesla service, fault was caused during install of coilover.

Although the axle is not removed in a suspension swap, it could have easily been damaged by letting the weight of the steering knuckle, lower control arm assembly strain it when the uppercsuspension is removed. Would be significantly worse if it accidentally dropped rather than just lowered.

Not to mention you get poor Unplugged Performance mixed up in your shenanigans?

The company that installed it did a shitty job and didnt put it back on correctly. Tell them to take out the coilovers right in front of you and put them back on - i can guarantee you that they had to remove the axle to make the job faster

That is an unnecessary extra step and in no way makes the job quicker. You’re literally adding extra steps to the process lol. Also, as he said in the video both Tesla’s instructions and Unplugged instructions do not mention anything about the axles during installation.

from someone whom has broken many FF axles in my drag racing days, that image of the crack on the axle tells me the car has gone thru some hard launches and from your history when you towed the car when the Pyro fuse blew also is one of the potential causes since it was putting alot of pressure on the axles which might have caused the initial crack (hairline)...then the rest of the rentals might have damaged it alone the way since you never know what a renter will do with the car. Unfortunately I would have to agree with Tesla on the warranty part because modifying suspenion does void your drive train since that affects the cars handling... It is unforunate that this happened to you but you handled it very well. With that said, I personally would never allow anyone else to drive MY because i know what they will do with it.

When you lower suspension, this alters the position of the axle.

@@Tracked350Z The axle CV joints allow the axle to travel up & down, left and right as the vehicle is steered and the car travels over bumpy terrain. He stated that the coil-over-suspension kit was installed to soften the ride, but as long as the dimensions of the kit weren't altered, only the responsiveness characteristics, then it should have no bearing on the position of the axle as it will still be articulating within the parameters of its design. You seem to have no mechanical understanding of suspensions. Pretty sure most mechanics would confirm this suspension mod would have no substantial impact to the axle. The hairline fracture theory given by Turbo does seem to indicate a manufacturing defect where the axle is not rated to withstand consistent and hard abuse by drivers constantly accelerating such that the axle eventually fatigues, or a flaw in the design that allows the retaining clips of the CV joint to break, or possibly my own theory of a hard jumping of a curb that knocks loose the CV retaining clip and eventually allows the axle to disengage from the CV joint.
@Tracked350Z 3 ай бұрын
@RT-mv7df Surely, with the stock suspension. When you add coilovers, without understanding the difference in compression, damping, static height, or spring stiffness; there's going to be a change to the axle angle. While you're correct, there is some variance between what the factory suspension and axle allow. When you start adding in aftermarket parts, this dynamic changes. How drastic? Well, it depends. Also, stock Teslas have issues with the axles. This is a known issue.
@williamleon2715 2 жыл бұрын
I am a master technician, i can tell you that at fault is unplugged. Many times when you replace the struts, the axle does fall off from the joint, which is normal. Thats why when installing it back, one has to make sure the axles are placed back properly. The instructions does not say you have to touch the axles, but if the technician took a short cut (which they most likely did, to save time) FOR SURE the mechanic installer popped the axle out, which will cause this issue.

Yes, i do have a model Y also, and the suspension does feel very bumpy, that is because of the low profile tires and low center of gravity for the battery weight, but still will not compare to any other car in acceleration, which i love and wont mind of the bumpy rides. I have modify many other cars before and it is just normal of a performance vehicle to have bumpy suspension due to turning ratio. Besides i would say that unplugged may be good, but they did seem like they were trying to get away from the problem, and for sure they know they screw up once they read the tesla result. I work at a dealer, and we see A LOT of dumb things that many other technicians do on vehicles, even if they come from very good outside shops

First of all, appreciate all the details of your journey on this. I've changed many drive shafts in my day and can tell you that "sludge" looks like the grease in the CV joints. Once it snaps, it'll spray all that grease in that exact pattern all over during the incident, it didn't build up over time. I would say 90% chance is that it was Unplugged performance's fault on this. When you install those parts, it's very common that you'd have to mess with the CV axle at some point, and it could have easily been pulled out of the drive unit and not totally reinserted properly. That said, after those two rear endings, and renters launching the car hard, it likely further stressed the housing and eventually broke. I'm putting my money it was Unplugged's fault, not the part, but the service from them.

Highly Doubt it was the suspension modification. But the biggest take away if never toss out your OEM parts. If things like "Not being able to properly aline" the car come up. Swap back and see if it fixes the issues. If it does not then take it into Tesla with OEM parts on and not the aftermarket. This was either the result of the Turo rentals or something was bumped/hit when the battery pack was swapped.

My thoughts are: 1) Other drivers usually are not what they seem, wanting to test out crazy maneuvers with a car that they could care less about and 2) Adding ANY 3rd party part will always place blame on that modification. It's a balance of getting revenue from renting and the expense associated with ongoing repairs, as well as 3rd party parts add enhancements that OEM parts lack, but definitely affect OEM warranty considerations. It's always a balance/risk that only one can weigh. Thanks for sharing and being so honest in your assessment and corrective course of action!

I have a Model Y LR similar to yours with VIN in the 2200s as well, which I believe we took delivery around the same time in March 2020. I have had zero issues with mine and only recently took it into Tesla this week for it's very first service appointment for a cracked windshield due to road debris (100% covered by my insurance). They performed it's first tire rotation (free), resealed the upper ball joints and replaced the leaky A/C dessicant part & refilled refrigerant (both I never noticed anything wrong & free under warranty as part of non-urgent recalls). Other than that my 2+ year old Model Y has been trouble free. Yours is definitely cursed, hah. BTW, the impacts of getting rear-ended twice might have a lot to due with both the HV battery failure as well as the front axle becoming dislodged, misaligned and making it appear to be a botched re-install. Or the axle may have been tugged out of place when improperly towed during one of those accidents. In any case, any car that has been in two or more serious accidents is never going to be the same structurally.

It is possible that the drive axle was either removed by the suspension tech or that it was mishandled and not fully in place at the end of the job. To gain access to the coil-over the axle is going to dangle at the wheel end and this is possibly the root cause of the problem. There are many videos on KZfaq about front suspension work and front drive axles; just take a ganders.

I'll continue to watch your videos regarding that. Thanks I think you should sell your model Y. After my Model 3 got t-boned by a red light runner I felt that it was cursed. Even though it was fully repaired. I had a model Y on order, mostly just for fun, but I accepted it. It was delivered 6 weeks after the 3 was running again.

My daily driver is a focus rs which is notoriously stiff and bouncy, and the 3 was even worse from the back seat. The front seat of the 3 was fine but the y has always felt better.

That is interesting you say that. We rented a Model Y LR through hertz last week in malibu for 3 days. Drove it all over including the mountains in malibu. I thought it drove AMAZING! It was quick, smooth, not harsh (ride quality) yet athletic (ride quality). When we got back and I got in my new honda passport (similar to the honda pilot) and my honda felt sluggish, top heavy, and loose in comparison. Further more, there were no jiggles, no rattles, and it was quiet at all speeds and terrains. The QUALITY of the ride in that Model Y was great. Of course, ride quality is subjective and likely to vary from vehicle to vehicle.

Good Day Ryan, I took everything you said into consideration. Number 1: the suspension change has nothing to do with this and that excuse wouldn't fly in court so Tesla is way off on that point. Number 2: The damage was most likely a idiot driver who abused your car. The minute I seen the cooling fluid on the ground, and the nut that was found indicated something was busted prior to your renting the car. And when he drove to SF the damage to the drive became apparent. That is the cost of doing business. and I feel you should keep that car for Turo ONLY and get your own at a later date. Thanks Ryan always informative.

Thats not necessarily true, when you change the height of a car itll change the angle of the cv to the hub. many cars have issues with binding when changing the ride height of the car. You either have to get shorter or longer axels to prevent this. They can and most likely will argue the change in suspension causing damage long term from the factory axel length not being compatible.
