    As a certified mechanic i can tell you from the spray paint on the shock that the car was in a rear accident you needed to take it to a frame specialist to make sure its square.... and replace the other side lower upper and hub assembly... those aluminum arms are so thick they dont bend very easy ...so it had to of had a accident from that right rear quarter panel

    Interesting video. But did you identify any bent parts?? what was the problem.
    The upper part of the suspension geometry seems fairly weak. It seems they figured the lower arm is plenty strong. Since it was forward it would either be backup damage or acceleration damage...

      Man Meets Garage -You should have mentioned that you bought the car at auction in the video or description. Video kind of leads people to think Tesla has bad quality or something. Most likely, the prior owner smacked a curb or had minor accident that bent the control arm.

    Larry puts two fingers in the passenger side wheel well
    Driver side he puts three fingers into wheel well.
    re-watch you can see passenger side his fingers are lower
    (note panel horizontal line and his fingers are higher off the ground, right?)
    WHY didn't he actually measure the gap?
    You can try on your own car. insert 2 fingers and then do again with 3 fingers
    (which of course means you are further above the ground.
    This may be why no one could measure anything wrong a the alignment tests.
    It was great to see the replacement, he did a really nice job.

    Had a similar issue with mine in November. Car would start swaying on slight right curves. Turned out the wheel hub had fatigued unnaturally or was damaged at the factory (it was 3 months new at the time) and there was enough room for the right rear wheel to start moving around in weird ways under load. Its cool though that you have the knowledge and skills to fix something like this yourself; saved yourself a hell of a lot of money.

    Is it possible that this was a bushing issue that was bored of center and when installed caused a mechanical off set? It very unlikely that you would be able to deform or bend cast aluminum without it showing cracks.

  • @dima614640
    @dima614640 7 років тому +1

    Most likely somebody raced the car and hit a curb with this tire, that's why the control arm was bent or as previously mentioned the car had been in an accident. Also when you took off the strut there was no need for any rope or clamps, you only need it if you dissemble the spring and shock absorber.

    I also own a 2013/2014 Tesla that I bought from a private garage. The owner got sick and died (not because he bought a Tesla) and it sat uncharged for a long time. And he never did a service. This caused a problem with the charging system, but I contacted Tesla and they fixed it under the warranty. Since I don't have your mechanical ability, I am relying on the and they are very nice in Bern. You said that there was no tire wear at all before? Did you notice a change in alignment after? I haven't finished watching the video. I want to buy a Nissan NV-200 EV for my company but the battery isn't enough. Can you help me with getting about 300 km range with a 720 kg payload? I talked with Tesla and they said they will give me some ideas, but they can't do the work.There are lots of people in my area of Switzerland that want to switch to EV but they need range.

    So what component(s) were bent or damaged??? Was it a bushing? - I can't imagine deflecting these massive elements. Must have been an accident.
    I don't like to work on suspensions. I have possibly the same Craftsman air compressor like yours. I use the air tools as much as I can, certainly during dis-assembly. Air ratchet, 3/8 inch butterfly impact wrench and even the 1/2 inch impact. Torquing during assembly is a pain but advisable.

    Ive a 2014 P85 now 135,000 uk miles I think the problem is a lot of hard launches deform the rubber bushes as the upper control arm is the torque reaction point and only being RWD and 2.2 ton thats a lot of torque. AWD cars share the torque loads with the front wheels. My car rear wheel steers a bit with the accelerator.

    Great undertaking, and without a shop manual! I would have had a few extra bolts when I finished that job. Nice to see someone working on the Tesla. The first I've seen on YT. I have a 2014 ordered, due next month, and I'll be sure to check the tire clearance when I get it. I'm thinking it may have been caused by the 21"'s hitting a good pothole. Another reason why I wanted 19"s in my Model S.

    Nice job. Also nice to see a UA-cam video where jack stands, eye protection and torque wrenches are the norm. Way too many weekend warriors out there working unsafely.

    Good video, and great job. If I may add a suggestion for you. Perhaps add in some close in shots of each important part (not all just the important ones) and give a quick bit of info on how they work. Show folks what these little things look like so if they're gonna try it, they kind of know what they're looking for.
    Nicely done!

    Surprised that your p85 did not come with the air suspension. I thought all the model S performance came with it. It might have been a $2,500 option like a lot of Tesla’s stuff…

    Oh. I was hoping you were going to take us through a more detailed process of extracting all the pieces and replacing them. And comparing the old and the new spindles. Oh well.

    I’m at your feet. That was some serious back breaking work. Wouldn’t it have been easier if you had had a lift available? Be careful how much punishment you heap on your lower back. You’re young so you won’t feel it now, but you will, when you become older. Take care of your body now, and it won’t come back and hurt you later.
    Excellent job, by the way. I’m no mechanic but your work couldn’t have been easy even under the best of circumstances. From what I’ve heard Tesla doesn’t put out a “Chilton’s Repair Manual” for Teslas.

      Yes. But original tire, wheel, never aligned or balanced wheels.

    Tesla great handling and suspension but those low profile tires will ruin that car. And there's a lot keeping that suspension stable while driving

  • @pollywollydo
    @pollywollydo 7 років тому

    Nice to see the young guys having a go was anything bent or were the bushes shot,if so. What was the mileage on the clock. P.s. Any torque values used would be useful. Keep up the good work
