Hi Everyone, Went to get my tire rotated, only brought them a few months back, brand new pirelli scorpion. After the rotation, there was this creaking sound at low speeds or when going over speed bumps. Any ideas on what this could be? https://youtube.com/shorts/NOdZHp4bfZ0?feature=share https://youtube.com/shorts/ovUJNACYcCU?feature=share 2021 Tesla Model Y Long range. 80k miles

Upper control arms. Having it fixed this Tuesday on my 2021 model Y with 98200 miles. Known issue with Tesla model Y. Tesla was 15 days out for an appt, I am going to a local garage and they will use aftermarket parts. They quoted $1000.

Thanks for replying. Every auto shop I took it to said "oh hey sorry, Tesla won't give us parts for it so we can't help you". So I'm glad that's not the case. I guess I need to find someone that knows what they are doing and take it to them. I'm also assuming this isn't fixed by the simple greasing of the joints trick?

I've seen YouTube videos where someone squirts white lithium grease into rubber boot. This only buys time
