What this usually means
Heavy EVs are sensitive to tyre wear, balancing, alignment, and uneven pressure. Diagnose tyre condition and wheel balance first before replacing suspension parts. EV torque can make ordinary tyre issues feel like drivetrain problems.
What to ask the workshop before approving repair
- • Show the diagnostic fault codes.
- • Show photo/video proof of the failed part.
- • Give an itemised quote for parts and labour.
- • Explain why cheaper common fixes were ruled out.
This is not a final diagnosis. It is a money-saving checklist before you go workshop.
