Model Y thump sound suspension when turning?

When turning my wheel all the way to the left or right, there’s this thump type sound that occurs. I can usually recreate it in the cold weather but sometimes when it’s warmer or when i drive the car for a bit I can’t. I have an appointment tomorrow since my 4 year warranty ends at the end of the month and i’m at 25k miles. Is it worth making an appointment if they’re gonna charge $180 if they can’t recreate or should I just ignore it. Here’s a link where i was able to get it to happen a couple times: [ https://imgur.com/a/xp584eg ](https://imgur.com/a/xp584eg) I was also told i could get a full inspection for $400 although not sure if that’s worth it given the miles.

The last 15 seconds you can hear it happen a few times (second remaining 14, 11, 6, and 3) specifically

Anecdote: I had a 2020 model 3 that would make a POP every time I went hard/full right. Seemed weird. Then one time I was showing it off to coworkers, overcooked a hard right turn a little and BANG, explosion. Everyone in the car was like "uh oh" I took it in and told them I think the sway bar linkage blew up. They looked into it and told me it was actually that, and that it was likely overtorqued at the factory. Not sure if this is your issue since it would have exploded by now if you get into spirited driving, or maybe it is the same issue but to a lesser degree?

oh woah I definitely hope it’s not that but am suspicious of the suspension since i’ve heard different problems that could occur. I don’t think i’ve done any hard turns though which might be why it hasn’t failed yet?

It's not a big deal

I brought my 23 MYLR in for similar suspension noise circumstances right before end of warranty and had the repair [covered in full](https://imgur.com/a/znr81sX), definitely worth a try, seeing several other recent posts in these subs all relating to worn bushings on various suspension components needing replacement

Thanks for this post I was rounding a right turn the other day and had a massive BANG in my MY. My first thought was I'd run over a brick and hit the underside somewhere. I jacked it up front wheels off, could not find anything loose, wobbly, missing. I've driven it 500 miles since then (to get home) and have no other symptoms. Were there any symptoms you heard or found prior to taking it in to get checked over?
